at $34, i thought, these will be more like a toy than a real instrument. NOT! these are small but you can extract nuance from them. actually, i'm a drummer and installed them on a rack. i play them with sticks, but i can get a great sound by paying around the head and with rim shots. they're tunable! real cowskin heads. real lugs and real solid wood. some reviewers mentioned they'd use them to practice while travelling. for a pro or serious hobbyist, i doubt that would work given the head size. i'd recommend a 6" toca for that purpose. but for a cool effect, which is how i'm using them they're great. i've got them installed with a set of toca bongos, lp aspire bongos, set of junior congas, and three full size congas. yes, its rediculous, but i get the full range from tiny bell-like sounds from the minis all the way down to the big kahunas.

I love mine, but they might not be right for someone just starting out. The small size makes them harder to play; you have to be very precise and hit them harder, and the sound is not very bongo-like at all. That said, they are more than toys; the sound they do make is clear and pleasing depending on how you tune them (and position them), they are well made and very beautiful. I tune it so the hembra sounds like horse hooves and the macho sounds like Woody Woodpecker, alot of fun to play. Also, you can (carefully) mount these on a standard snare drum stand. UPDATE: 2/19/14 : they still sit on my coffee table and I still play them often, just ordered a pair for my sister.

Regalo para mi sobrina la primera Navidad🎄First Christmas gift for my (first) newborn baby niece.They are ‘mini’, so have higher pitch than normal size - but they are tunable and sound great.They are professionally built, beautifully finished and should last my niece a lifetime.

I was very surprised at how small this set of beautifully built bongos were. I watched a video on YouTube regarding playing bongos and found out that you must always release the tension on the drums after you are finished playing and then tighten them back up to play. Very tight is not a problem apparently, as the instructor said you may hear noises. I did not tighten mine that far. They have beautiful graphics and high end hardware, a pretty good sound, but again they are so small as to be more of a presentation type piece. I am going to order bigger ones to actually play.

My 2 year old LOVES to play the drums. These bongos are very small with wonderful, real sound that can be played by adults as well. They are heavy, so if a child uses them, you have to teach them how to be careful with them since they are real & not a toy. They are beautifully crafted and tunable. Big hit with my daughter and the look on people's faces when they hear what great sound they have is priceless.

the bongos sound great right from the box. they are ready to play and seem like really good quality especially for a small child. they don't look quit as nice as the one you see in the picture, the wood looks different. but they play well and my 3 year old son really like them so far. would have easily been 5 stars but i don't like false advertising. you should get exactly what you pay for. in this case it's cosmetic, but it's the principle.

They are great. Nice and compact for travelling. They look good and sound good for Bongos this size. Be careful not to overtighten the skin. Good idea to loosen them when not playing for awhile.

Mini bongos eccezionali - bellissimi ed estremamente appaganti esteticamente - possono essere accordati e dunque piacevolissimamente suonati con il possesso magari di un pò di tecnica specifica (si può ricorrere anche a tutorial on line!). Sono uno spettacolo solo ad ammirarli!Fatti a regola d'arte....del resto sono LP!
