About this item

  • Luis Conte signature bongos — Luis Conte’s signature bongos complement his congas with matching hardware and finish — these bongos were built to the specs Luis prefers to achieve a sound fit for Cuban, Latin American and mainstream American pop music
  • Rubberwood stave shells (natural finish, matte) — solid rubberwood staves are assembled based on uniform qualities like color and grain for a consistent sound — precise proportions allow the drums to complement each other with separate pitches
  • True Skin cow skin heads for a classic, warm sound — outfitted with Meinl True Skin cow heads, their response leans toward more warmth and depth along with superb mid-range tone and an outstanding feel — the heads measure 6 ¾” and 8 ”
  • Traditional rims (black powder coated steel) — 5 mm Meinl traditional TTR rims help the bongos respond with clarity and cut — this traditional style is great for players who need greater control and use the rim as part of their feel while playing
  • Traditional solid block connection — the two individual drums are attached with a solid wood block connection, a classic style that Luis prefers for his signature bongos — this connection block will work with any bongo stand
  • Includes tuning wrench — four 8 mm chrome plated steel tuning lugs on each drum allow you to dial-in your desired pitch easily — a tuning wrench is included with these bongos for quick, on-the-spot adjustments or head changes

The Meinl Artist Series Luis Conte signature bongo drums are a great complement to any percussion setup. The solid woodblock connection is the style Luis prefers for his bongos, as it securely holds the drums in place while maintaining their outstanding acoustic properties. Included with these bongos are an accessory pouch, tuning key and tune up oil.

I returned the one I bought from Amazon.It was very hard to tune.I don't know if it was a returned item, which someone had returned without de-tuning; had sat around in Amazon's stock, fully tuned.I subsequently ordered one through my local music store, which turned out to be a great bongo.I play it almost daily.One thing important to remember is that you may not want to buy a Bongo without playing it first.I went to the local music store and played a few different bongos, which sounded much different than this one.I like the sound of this bongo and the looks of it too.So, I lucked out, even though I never played it before buying it.This may not always be the case, shall we say? :)Fair Disclosure: I am a novice bongocero.

These sound beautiful and are perfect for playing Salsa beats! They are very well built and are a great quality product. The sounds are amazing even when played at a low volume. The heads offer a dynamic sound that I love. These bongos tune up quickly and easily in seconds. No matter how high or low you tune them you get a supreme tone out of them. The price is very reasonable for the high quality of this instrument too. I am going to have some fun with these!

These bongos sound perfect. They are a bit heavy but comparable to other professional quality models.
