## Description

MEINL Woodcraft Bongos, just as the Woodcraft Congas, stand for tradition combined with exceptional workmanship. Only the finest hand selected materials are used to produce these premium bongos. The MEINL patented Free Ride Suspension System means the drums are joined together with no holes drilled in the shells. This maximizes the amount of resonance and warm tones, along with cutting slaps the American White Ash is known for producing. All MEINL bongo stands and mounts are equipped to securely hold the Free Ride mounting system in place. Professional Woodcraft Series bongos are equipped with True Skin cow heads that have exceptional sound qualities. Included is a tuning key, accessory pouch and tune up oil. Paired with any MEINL Congas, these bongos are a great start or finish to your percussion set up! The Meinl Professional Bongo Stand (Model# TMB-S) for seated players will also allow you to comfortably set these up with your drum kit.
