First impressions out of the box and very satisfied with the build and quality of these drums. As specified plastic shells which suits me as they will be going from venue to venue as part of my drum kit. The sound is great and they really resonate tones hitting differently. The Icing on the cake was taking them along for a quiet jam with our band breakingf in new bass player. He thought I was an exsperienced bongo player, ( no mate first time tonight ever playing them). Played the kit for around 30 years but honest started getting some good rythems going and these bongos sound just great. Ejoyed them so much Review: Great value instrument - These are high quality bongos with great resonance and a wide range of tones. ## Features - 2 Drums - Bongos are Cuban hand drums, the smaller one is called Macho (6.5 inches) and the larger one is called Hembra (7.5 inches) - Hand-selected Buffalo Heads - For an authentic sound, these bongos feature buffalo heads carefully selected by hand - Travel Instrument - With the body made of ABS, these bongos are suitable for performances, jam sessions, and recordings - Non-Slip - The total of 8 rubber feet ensure a secure playing feel and protect sensitive surfaces - Rounded Rims - For more playing comfort the upper edge of the powder-coated rims is rounded ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00275G79O | | Best Sellers Rank | 19,760 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 23 in Bongos | | Body Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Brand | Meinl Percussion | | Brand Name | Meinl Percussion | | Colour | Black | | Connector Type | clamp | | Country of Origin | Thailand | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 894 Reviews | | Finish Type | Powder Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840553064209 | | Included Components | 1x Meinl Percussion Molded ABS Bongo (HB50BK) | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | both | | Item Dimensions | 45 x 24 x 22 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Bongo Drums | | Item Weight | 3 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 45 x 24 x 22 centimetres | | Item weight | 3 kg | | Manufacturer | Meinl | | Material | ABS Plastic | | Model Name | HB50 | | Model Number | HB50BK | | Model name | HB50 | | Part Number | HB50BK | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer. | | Set Name | Journey Series | | Sound Profile | Warm and Balanced | | UPC | 840553064209 011103015099 280150112536 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Meinl Percussion - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 45 x 24 x 22 centimetres - **Material:** ABS Plastic - **Model name:** HB50 ## Images ![Meinl Percussion Bongos Journey Series - 2 hand drums with 6.5 and 7.5 inches - including tuning key - ABS plastic, Black (HB50BK) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JjjMiKuVL.jpg) ![Meinl Percussion Bongos Journey Series - 2 hand drums with 6.5 and 7.5 inches - including tuning key - ABS plastic, Black (HB50BK) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QoCoTtJwL.jpg) ![Meinl Percussion Bongos Journey Series - 2 hand drums with 6.5 and 7.5 inches - including tuning key - ABS plastic, Black (HB50BK) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MOSJw2XTL.jpg) ![Meinl Percussion Bongos Journey Series - 2 hand drums with 6.5 and 7.5 inches - including tuning key - ABS plastic, Black (HB50BK) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-jRHmsHL.jpg) ![Meinl Percussion Bongos Journey Series - 2 hand drums with 6.5 and 7.5 inches - including tuning key - ABS plastic, Black (HB50BK) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81v1jFkb2HL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I'm looking for fiberglass bongos, not wooden ones, as the latter are too heavy.
