Installation
The Supremo Select Series Bongos are ready for play out of the box. To achieve the desired pitch, use the included tuning wrench to tighten the 5/16″ lugs in a cross-pattern sequence. This ensures the water buffalo skin heads are tensioned evenly across the hoop to prevent warping and maximize tonal clarity.
