## Description

1x Meinl Percussion Molded ABS Bongo (HB50BK)

Review: These bongos have a composite shell which looks very good. Buffalo hide heads are top quality. Decent hardware. The sound is on the high side but it has a very nice pop when the heads are tensioned. Very satisfied with these bongos. I am curious how a $500 pair would sound compared to these, but I can’t imagine they’d be that much better. A professional percussionist checked them out and said they were just fine and the higher pitch would complement his congas.
