Meinl 6.75-inch + 8-inch Freeride wood Series Bongo

The MEINL FWB190 Marathon Series Free Ride Wood Bongos are perfect for the ambitious beginner and for those looking for an affordable set that has outstanding professional features. The MEINL patented Free Ride Suspension System means the drums are joined together with no holes drilled in the shells. This maximizes the amount of resonance and warm tones that the Rubber Wood is known for producing. All MEINL bongo stands and mounts are equipped to securely hold the Free Ride mounting system in place. Marathon Series Wood bongos are equipped with hand selected buffalo heads that produce sharp highs with warm tones, and are easily tunable. Included is a tuning key, accessory pouch and tune up oil. Paired with any MEINL Congas, these bongos are a great start or finish to your percussion set up! The Meinl Professional Bongo Stand (Model# TMB-S) for seated players will also allow you to comfortably set these up with your drum kit.

• For professionals or intermediate players — whether you’re expanding your percussion set up, adding bongos to your drum kit or playing acoustic music, the Meinl Marathon Series bongos are built with specialized features for a professional sound
• Rubberwood stave shells (coffee burst finish, gloss) — 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
• Hand-selected buffalo skin heads for a classic sound — outfitted with natural hand-selected buffalo skin heads, the response you get is full of dynamic warmth and depth along with sharp highs and an outstanding feel — the heads measure 6 ¾” and 8”
• Meinl Free Ride Suspension System — the two individual drums are attached with the Meinl Free Ride Suspension system, a patented design that avoids holes being drilled into the shells — this allows for greater resonance and works with any bongo stand
• Rounded rims (black powder coated steel) — 2 mm Meinl SSR rounded rims sit lower than traditional bongo rims and feature a rounded edge for comfort and control — this design helps avoid harsh or unwanted contact with the rim as you play with your hands
• 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
