Professional Bongo – the most important at a glance

In order to play the bongo, you need to have the proper equipment. The professional bongo has a distinct sound that is different from the traditional bongo. There are various types of professional bongos available on the market, each with its own unique features.

The most important factor to consider when purchasing a professional bongo is the size. Professional bongos are typically larger than traditional bongos. They vary in size from 812 inches. The larger the bongo, the deeper the sound.

The material of the bongo also plays a role in the sound. Bongos made of wood produce a warmer sound, while bongos made of metal produce a sharper sound.

Another factor to consider is the type of skin. Bongos with synthetic skin are less expensive, but they don’t produce the same quality of sound as bongos with natural skin.

When purchasing a professional bongo, it’s important to try out various types to see which one sounds the best to you.

Meinl Percussion Bongos Hand Drum Set 6.5' and 7.5' with Synthetic Shells and Tuning Key — NOT Made in China — Journey Series, 2-Year Warranty (HB50BK)
859 Reviews
Meinl Percussion Bongos Hand Drum Set 6.5" and 7.5" with Synthetic Shells and Tuning Key — NOT Made in China — Journey Series, 2-Year Warranty (HB50BK)
  • OUR MOST SOLID BONGOS: their hard-to-damage, thick synthetic shells can take a lot more abuse than traditional wood; plus, they won't expand or contract during changes in weather which can affect tuning
  • WHY IT MATTERS: for most beginner and even advanced players, you need bongos that do it all without needing a lot of maintenance; from jamming in the park with friends to open mic night to recording, these bongos are always ready to go
  • ONE TAKEAWAY: their sound doesn’t fall short of wood bongos because we use humanely sourced buffalo rawhide for the heads; most higher-end bongos have the same heads, so you're getting consistent, authentic sound full of warmth, depth, and clarity
  • HOW TO ADJUST PITCH: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes if needed; tighten the four steel lugs on each shell for a higher pitch and loosen them to drop pitch (bongos come pre-tuned)
  • BY THE NUMBERS: the heads measure 6 ½” and 7 ½” (an industry standard); the bongos are 7" tall and weigh 6.3 lbs with a standard size synthetic connection block that fits any stand (bongo stand sold separately)
  • ZOOM IN: our rounded rims sit below the heads so your hands don't make contact with the steel hardware while playing; you can fully engage without hurting your palms
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: they'll do the trick anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn't matter what your skill level is; they're easy to play whether you're a drummer or singer with no percussion experience
  • THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
