{"product_id":"latin-percussion-lp794x-bongos-galaxy-fiberglass-5854","title":"LP794X - Galaxy Fiberglass Bongos","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the world of Afro-Cuban percussion, the bongo is a demanding instrument: it must be lightweight, stable, expressive, and capable of maintaining reliable tuning despite the heat of the hands and humidity variations. LP (Latin Percussion) has established itself over decades as a benchmark for stage instruments by offering solutions focused on performance and durability. This version with Kevlar reinforced composite shells clearly fits into a \"touring and live\" logic: a bongo designed to remain consistent from one concert to another, while preserving a true acoustic feel thanks to the natural skins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Instrument For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bongos are aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced percussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a reliable instrument, stage-ready, and capable of withstanding energetic playing. They are perfectly suited for styles where the bongo needs to \"stand out\" in the mix: salsa, son, timba, Latin jazz, acoustic reggaeton, pop, and contemporary music in additional percussion setups. For a motivated beginner, it is also a relevant choice if the goal is to invest directly in a durable instrument with superior playing comfort and reassuring hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this model is the combination of \u003cstrong\u003efiberglass + Kevlar reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by \u003cstrong\u003esteel-reinforced bevels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This architecture aims for maximum durability and better mechanical stability, especially at the edges (a critical area for tuning stability and skin longevity). The \u003cstrong\u003eComfort Curve II Rims\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance the \"performance instrument\" aspect: the curvature improves ergonomics for rolls, slaps, and fast phrases while reducing discomfort during long sessions. Regarding mounting, the hardware combines several metal and molded parts, with announced compatibility for quick installation on a dedicated stand, convenient in percussion setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enatural animal skins\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the expected organic character on a bongo: a lively attack, a wide range of nuances between open tones and slaps, and harmonic complexity that helps the instrument breathe within an acoustic ensemble. They also promote a very direct feel under the fingers, with a response that follows the hand with every change in intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKevlar reinforced fiberglass shells\u003c\/strong\u003e tend to offer a clear projection and great stability, with a sound often more \"focused\" than an all-wood shell. Generally, you get a precise attack, good note definition, and a marked presence, particularly appreciated on stage or in amplified contexts. The reinforcements and construction focused on durability help keep the instrument consistent over time, limiting variations related to playing conditions, which helps maintain stable pitch and consistent timbre from one rehearsal to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebongo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebongos\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGlitter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efiberglass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGold\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAnimal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e7 1\/4 inches and 8 5\/8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Latin Percussion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361254199571,"sku":"5854","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/3b02110f8d3a683d31b7ae89b580f5d94a4b7bd2_LP_BONGO_GALAXY_FIBRE_LP794X.jpg?v=1789408230","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/latin-percussion-lp794x-galaxy-fiberglass-bongos-5854","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
