Meinl Percussion Woodcraft Series Bongo, Vintage Black

The MEINL Woodcraft Bongos, like the Woodcraft Congas, are characterized by outstanding craftsmanship and traditional construction. Only selected materials are processed for this instrument to achieve this typically loud, bright bongosound. Macho and Hembra are no longer joined by a patented MEINL Free Ride system, like other bongos with a block of wood in the middle, as this would affect the resonance of the instrument. With the system, both boilers are firmly connected to the lower rim, with the result that no holes need to be drilled in the boiler. This allows a freely resonating bongo boiler. specifications: Model: WB400VBK-M Woodcraft Series WB400 Wood Bongos 7 "Macho & 8 1/2" HembraMaterial: American White Ash (Fraxinus americana L.)Free Ride Suspension SystemChromed hardwareTrue Skin cowhides8 mm thick tuning lugs3 mm rounded SSR rimsAccessory bagL-shaped tuning keyTune Up Oi
