Installation
The Supremo Select Series Bongos arrive ready for final tuning. Use the included tuning wrench to tighten the 5/16″ lugs in a cross-pattern sequence to ensure even tension across the water buffalo skin heads. Because these drums use natural skins, they may require occasional tuning adjustments based on changes in humidity and temperature.

These bongos are compatible with standard bongo stands and carrying bags (sold separately). They are designed for handheld play or for mounting on compatible percussion hardware.
