I purchased this set of bongos as a birthday present for my 7 year-old son. They came out of the box pretty much ready to play, just a few turns of the tuning wrench had them good to go. I was pretty impressed by the sturdy construction and the real skin heads.

My son has been happily beating on this set for a couple of weeks now, and he seems to really be enjoying them. The skins have broken in now with the frequent playing, and that has softened the tone a little. This set really packs a good sound into a small package. Highly recommended if you want a good set of starter bongos for yourself or your kids. Would also make a good travel set or something to keep in your office for those days when you just want to bang your own drum.

I bought them for my son for his 11th birthday next month.. but I couldn’t help taking them out of the box when I got them yesterday.. IN LOVE …they are small and sound very nice. I love them and he will too 🙂 Very sturdy, sounds great, would even look good just sitting on a shelf!

Latin Percussion Mini Bongos are definitely not a toy. When properly tuned they produce a good solid sound. Tuning is easy by tightening nuts with the wrench provided. The small size makes it fun and easy to take with you to any party. Things really liven up with a live drum beat. It just takes a little while to get used to the small size.
