The choice of \u003cstrong\u003etraditional style hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e with a black powder-coated finish and the presence of a \u003cstrong\u003ewooden block connection\u003c\/strong\u003e clearly position this model among \"player\" instruments, designed to recapture classic sensations while benefiting from robust tuning components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho This Bongo Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wooden bongo is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced percussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an expressive instrument, stable in tuning, and suitable for both stage and studio contexts. Its traditional design and solid components make it an excellent choice for styles where playing precision and dynamics matter: \u003cstrong\u003eLatin music\u003c\/strong\u003e, salsa, son, timba, as well as pop, funk, jazz, and contemporary music whenever an articulated and present bongo playing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe major distinctive feature of this model lies in the \u003cstrong\u003etraditional wooden block connection\u003c\/strong\u003e between the macho and hembra drums, a favored solution for its natural rigidity feel and authentic aesthetic. The \u003cstrong\u003e5 mm traditional TTR rim\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to playing comfort and response consistency, while the \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm tuning lugs\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance durability and precision during tension increases. The \u003cstrong\u003ematte black hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a sober and professional style while protecting the instrument daily (transport, handling, environmental changes).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003eSiam oak\u003c\/strong\u003e, this bongo offers an interesting balance between \u003cstrong\u003eattack\u003c\/strong\u003e, definition, and body. This type of wood favors a firm response with well-defined notes, which helps maintain clarity in fast patterns and syncopated phrases. The \u003cstrong\u003ematte finish\u003c\/strong\u003e and tradition-oriented construction emphasize a direct feel under the fingers, without artifices, ideal for nuanced playing between open tones, slaps, and muffled notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eREMO Nuskyn heads\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to a natural and controlled sound, with a pleasant texture and managed projection. They facilitate achieving a musical sound that is both present and round, while maintaining good articulation on the macho and a broader foundation on the hembra. The result: a bongo capable of shifting from incisive percussive playing to warmer accompaniment, depending on tuning and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebongo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebongos\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSiam oak\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSynthetic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMatt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMacho diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e17 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHembra diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ematte\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection between the two shells\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etraditional wooden block\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e5 mm traditional TTR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning lugs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003erobust 8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eREMO Nuskyn\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358699835667,"sku":"409194","price":309.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/1bcf97ee37df2bc8301a16e24c90ab5addbd408a_MEINL_LCR300NT_M_05a1fe4e-5c55-46cb-83fa-6abd15addf7d.jpg?v=1787349544","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-artist-series-luis-conte-bongo-6-3-4-macho-8-hembra-natural-409194","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
