Meinl 6.75-inch + 8-inch Freeride wood Series Bongo

YOUR FOREVER BONGOS. solid construction, outstanding tone, good-looking—check; these bongos are even prettier in person, and they're made with professional level craftsmanship fit for a wide range of use from recording and touring to jamming with friends

WHY IT MATTERS. you won't need to replace with an upgraded set later; feel proud to own bongos that are motivating to play with a professional sound and feel that lasts

DRIVING THE SOUND. we use humanely sourced, hand-selected buffalo rawhide heads that are easy to tune up and down; shells are crafted with Siam oak staves assembled on uniform grain and density for the best tone

ONE BIG THING. made with Meinl's patented Free Ride Suspension System that avoids drilling holes in the shells; this allows the shells to resonate freely and gives the bongos a wider dynamic range (fits most bongo stands—stand not included)

HOW TO ADJUST PITCH. includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (bongos come pre-tuned but may require some adjustment)
