  • I'm not a pro but I LOVE these!
Color: Beige
This is my first time playing bongos, so I first searched for a good priced set, and any mentions of "beginners" - this set met those criteria. The bongos are exactly as described in both words and pics. Before doing anything with them, I checked out a "playing bongos for beginners" YouTube video, and was HAPPY I did. The two issues I noticed after unpacking my set were (1) they weren't tightly fitted onto the little block of wood between them, and (2) the tone seemed flat. The guy in the video addressed both these issues right from the beginning, assuring me they were perfectly normal and EASILY adjusted. The small wrench that comes with the set fixed both issues with a few turns of the wrist. Once that was done, I went to another video and started learning some basic patterns, and now I can't stop smiling! ... show more

  • I recognize the good qualities of a product pretty often
Color: Beige
First of all, I'm a hobbyist musician. I play a variety of instruments and have bought from many manufacturers. I'm used to buying on a budget, since it's a hobby, not a career. However, I recognize the good qualities of a product pretty often, and I think I'm pretty fair about the not-so-good qualities.These bongo drums are, first of all, a great deal. They play well, they sound good, they feel right. I can't compare them physically to any other bongos, but they seem pretty comparable to lots of the drums I've seen in videos while doing research. They sound about the same, too, after you tune them up properly. As for that, DO NOT EXPECT PERFECTION OUT OF THE BOX! These drums have been tuned a little to keep them from falling apart during shipping. I'll add brief tuning instructions at the end of this review, to help people who buy these drums get them playable in short order.Now, where was I? Oh yes. They seem comparable to other bongos out there. They're a good size, sturdy build, and with a surprisingly snappy sound. If you hear an overtone in the drum, you can minimize that somewhat by properly tuning the instrument. However, even pro-level bongos have this overtone aspect, so it may just be a thing all bongos do. (Overtone is a high-pitched ringing that occurs when you strike the drum.)Now, as for the bag, it's a pretty standard toat bag, although it has some padding to protect your instrument from bumps and bruises. It comes with a strap, allowing you to choose whether you're going to carry it by the handle on the bag or by putting it over your shoulder.The fact that this drum comes with a tuning wrench is pretty awesome. I've heard that many do come with it, but it's nice to see them putting in all the extra effort to get people playing right away.Now, if I like this so much, why did I give it 4 rather than 5 stars? Well, it's because I noticed several small but significant issues with finish and with the drum head itself. If I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars, but I can't, so let me describe what I noticed. First, there were some small areas of the wood inside the drum where the wood hadn't been checked for splinters. Several specimens came off when I rubbed them gently with my thumb. I didn't have to put effort into it, and the wood of the drum, while somewhat unsanded inside, isn't poorly put together. It just tells me that they didn't take time, at least with my drum, to check to be certain the wood was ready to leave the factory. The other issue with the drum head is equally small. Basically, there are little spots of either glue or extra skin or what have you hanging off the underside of the drum head. Not a deal-breaker by any means, just something to be aware of. I chose to leave them alone rather than risking the head's integrity by picking at it.Why do I care so much about the inside of the drum, the underside of the head? Basically, it's because I believe you can judge the quality of a product by how well-done are the parts you weren't meant to see.Thus, I give the bongos the rating of being well-made, highly-playable, and a good all-round value, especially at this excellent price.Basic tuning instructionsFirst, turn the bongos head-side down in your lap.Next, use the included wrench to loosen all of the bolts significantly. Loosen them in quarter or half turns per bolt, in order to prevent damage to the drum heads. Loosen the bolts in a circle around each drum until they are loose enough to turn by hand (using your fingers, not the wrench.)At this point, tighten the bolts back up using your fingers until you can't turn them by hand anymore. At this point, the drum, if you tap its upside-down head, would make a dull unbongoish thunk.Tighten all of the bolts around each drum one full turn. Remember to move in a circular pattern around each drum.Once you've given each bolt a full turn, the tone will begin to sound more like what you'd expect from bongos.From here, tune the hembra, the larger drum, up slowly using half and quarter turns to get the right sound out of your drum. Remember to turn your drum over and check its tone by striking it after going around all of the bolts on it. If you have a tuner handy, I suggest tuning it somewhere between middle c and the e just above it, to your tastes.Now, you can tune the macho, the smaller drum. This drum will need a little more tightening to get it to the higher, snappier pitch desired for this drum. Use half and quarter turns, turning the drum over and tapping it regularly to check for tone. If you have a tuner ready, I suggest tuning this drum somewhere between e above middle c and the a just above that.For a final fine adjustment, hold the drums rightside-up. Pick a drum, and place your thumb lightly in the center of the head. Then, strike the head near the lugs, where the tention hooks hang down. You should hear a ringing. Repeat all around the head. Tune each lug slightly to match each lug's ringing overtone. Repeat this process for the second drum. Then everything should be ready to play The Martillo! ... show more

  • Pretty nice
Color: Red and Natural Stripe
I bought these for a future percussionist, a little girl, but her dad who is a musician and professional in the music industry says they are really nice. I think he plays them more than she does.

  • Poor fitment but decent sound on the cheap
Color: Red and Natural Stripe
So it been a while since I played bongos but figured it was a better option than getting the congas out of storage, especially for some casual restless hands solo play. These were an Amazon warehouse used item and overall they look and sound fine. The fitment of the tuners and banding is terrible and makes it near impossible to get a good grip and with bare skin you get pinched. Started a return and just haven't gotten around to drop off. Because of the used nature I rate a 3 only because this isn't a cosmetic issue but playability. Sound is OK for the price especially for casual drumming or newbie. ... show more

  • Real deal bongos
Color: Red and Natural Stripe
I found that in today's Inflationary trend this set of bongos is a fair deal. They even come with a fairly decent zipper open carrying bag. They are pretty cool played them right out of the box. We jammin now :)

  • Excellent bongos after replacing lugs - see photo
Color: Beige
When tightening the lugs to get the tones I wanted, two of the lugs stripped their threads. The lug hooks and rods are too flimsy. Even after oiling the threads and nuts, they bind up and get difficult to turn. I replaced them with 1/4-20 turnbuckles (tighteners) with hooks on each end from my local hardware store. See photo. If you tighten the reverse-thread end all the way in and replace the regular thread end hook with a hex bolt, nut and washer, you get much stronger and easy to turn lugs. These cost $30. I could probably used the smaller tensioners of the same type I bought. That would have cost $20. I am very happy with the sound and tuneability now. But the lesson I take away is $40 is just too cheap to expect to get a good set of bongos. ... show more
