Construction and Materials

The shells are made from Siam Oak, the same shell type used in Luis Conte's signature congas, giving the pair a matching look and a solid feel in hand. The hoops are 5 mm TTR hoops, tuned with 8 mm tension rods. A sturdy build that holds tuning well during heavy playing.

Heads and Tone

The heads are Remo Nuskyn, a synthetic head that mimics the warmth of natural skin while staying more stable against moisture and temperature changes. The combination of wood, shell size and head gives the bongo pair a full, authentic bongo tone.

Included in Delivery

The set comes with a carrying bag for storage and transport, a tuning key for adjusting the heads, and Tune Up Oil for wood maintenance.
