These Siam Oak bongos fit this philosophy: a standard 6.75\/8 size instrument designed to offer authentic sound, stable tuning, and solid construction, equally comfortable in rehearsals and performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bongos are aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner to intermediate percussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a serious instrument to progress with, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e musicians who want a reliable set for stage and studio. The 6.75\/8 pair is perfectly suited for Afro-Cuban styles (son, salsa), Latin pop, reggae, world music, and integrates naturally into both acoustic and amplified setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design focuses on efficiency: the \u003cstrong\u003e2 mm SSR hoops\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to even tension distribution and more stable tuning, while the \u003cstrong\u003echrome hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances durability against transportation and humidity changes. The supplied \u003cstrong\u003eaccessory pouch\u003c\/strong\u003e (L-shaped tuning key and oil) facilitates daily handling, whether adjusting pitch before a concert or preserving the wood and skins' condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiam Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e is appreciated for its balance: it promotes a clear attack, precise projection, and solid low-midrange, helping the strikes remain audible within an ensemble. On bongos, this translates to a hembra (8\") with more pronounced lows and a responsive macho (6.75\"), ideal for fast patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehand-selected buffalo skins\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a naturally rich tonal texture: warm open tones, expressive slaps, and nuanced dynamics depending on strike strength and position. To get the best from the instrument, progressive and symmetrical tuning is recommended, allowing the skins to stabilize after each adjustment.\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\"\u003eBuffalo\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\"\u003eChromed\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\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e6.75\/8\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\u003eWood\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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enatural satin\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":54357007302931,"sku":"259546","price":185.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2e281892487417a74c31d3a1fea66c53e536f19d_WB200SNTM.jpg?v=1787306583","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-wb200snt-m-wb200-wood-bongos-6-3-4-macho-8-hembra-super-natural-259546","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
