Installation
These bongos arrive ready for assembly and tuning. Use the included tuning wrench to adjust the 5/16″ diameter lugs. To achieve the desired pitch, tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern sequence to ensure even tension across the water buffalo skin heads. Because these use natural skins, it is recommended to store them in a climate-controlled environment to maintain optimal head tension.
Compatibility
These are standalone acoustic percussion instruments. They are compatible with standard percussion accessories, such as bongo stands or padding, though they are designed for lap play.
