Prefer This to Traditional Bongos

Former gigging musician, have live and studio experience, radio airplay, did commission work, all that fun stuff. Chose to buy this set after a mate of mine snagged 'em some decade before I did, and I used 'em in a recording of mine when my oldschool bongos died the death.

Build quality is everything you'd expect from MEINL, absolutely solid. Body is made from Rubberwood, playing surface is Siam Oak. Has a really great resonance to it, sounds just fantastic, great resonance to it. This thing is LOUD. Takes a mic really really well. Sounds really good in the mix. Easy to hold between your knees or on your lap, goes good on a bongo stand as well. Just a really fun lil' thing to play. I genuinely have zero complaints about it.

They even have a snare string version I'm debating snagging, though at that point I'd probably just snag myself a traditional cajon... I do need one for my collection, after all.
