Meinl Percussion Bongos Hand Drum Set Journey Series HB50EC Synthetic Shells Electric Coral 6.5" and 7.5"

The Meinl Journey Series bongos are designed for versatility and durability across various musical settings. Made with rugged synthetic shells, they withstand weather changes and travel hazards, offering excellent resonance, projection, clarity, and warmth. They feature natural, hand-selected buffalo skin heads measuring 6.5” and 7.5”, providing dynamic warmth, depth, and sharp highs. Four tunable 8 mm lugs on each drum allow for easy pitch adjustments, and a tuning wrench is included.

Features:
* **Most Solid Bongos:** Durable, thick synthetic shells are more resistant to damage than traditional wood and won't expand or contract with weather changes, ensuring consistent tuning.

* **Authentic Sound:** Humanely sourced buffalo rawhide heads deliver consistent, authentic sound full of warmth, depth, and clarity, comparable to higher-end wood bongos.
* **Easy Pitch Adjustment:** Includes a tuning wrench for quick adjustments or head changes; tighten steel tension rods for a higher pitch, loosen for a lower pitch.
