Meinl 6 3/4 and 8inch Artist Series Bongo – Natural

Meinl Artist Series Bongo – 6 3/4″ and 8″ – Natural is a professional-quality bongo set built for players who want great sound, classic design, and lasting durability. Whether you’re playing live, recording, or rehearsing, these bongos deliver crisp highs, deep tones, and excellent projection.

Materials and Build Quality

This bongo set features 6 3/4″ and 8″ shells made from select wood with a beautiful natural finish. The wood grain is smooth and polished, giving the drums a timeless, traditional look. Each drum is fitted with hand-selected buffalo skin heads, offering a warm, resonant tone and quick response.

Meinl’s Free Ride Suspension System (FRSS) connects the drums without drilling into the shells. This allows them to vibrate freely and improves their natural resonance. The hardware is built tough, with rounded SSR tuning lugs that make tuning safe and easy. Rubber feet on the bottom protect surfaces and help stabilize the drums during play.

Performance and Use Case

These bongos are ideal for professional and aspiring percussionists alike. They’re great for Latin, pop, fusion, jazz, and acoustic music. Whether you play with traditional technique or modern styles, you’ll appreciate the balance, comfort, and clear tone this set delivers.
