How to choose
Choose bongos by wood type and tuning system, since these affect both tone and how easily you can adjust pitch.
Beginner
A Latin Groove tunable bongo pair is a good starting point since the tuning lugs let you adjust the pitch as you learn. Practise basic open, slap and muted tones with your hands before trying to play along to music.
Intermediate
Players developing their technique often move to LP City Wood Bongos or the LP Matador for a fuller, more resonant tone. Try both seated between your knees and mounted on the Meinl Bongo Stand to find which position suits your playing.
Expert
Experienced percussionists choosing the Latin Percussion Galaxy Giovanni Signature Bongos are usually after a specific professional tone for recording or performance. Keep the LP replacement bongo heads on hand and check tuning often, since bongo heads are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.
