Latin Percussion Cosmic Percussion 6 7-inch Traditional Set-Dark Wood Bongos (CP221-DW)

Beautiful instrument. Well made, nice sound and feel.

I got these as a Christmas present for my musician brother who is super hard to buy for and has everything. I was really impressed by this little set of bongos! They seem pretty heavy duty and the wood and skin on the head is very nice looking--especially for a less expensive set. The musician was very pleased with them as well! The bag that comes with it isn't exactly protective, but it will get it from point A to point B if you're careful. (I couldn't believe how expensive padded bongo bags were!)

It was ripped when it arrived. Bought it somewhere else afterwards and the sound is not great. Good it was for my kids.

I bought these bongos as a Christmas present for someone who is an experienced bongo player who wanted another set in this country since his were back home. Personally, I know nothing about bongos but he was really excited when he saw the brand saying it was one of the best. He quickly went to work tuning the bongos, and I watched him carefully tighten the nuts listening for the perfect sound, when suddenly the heads burst (scariest experience ever). The skins were so crisp, dried out and brittle, it was clear that the leather had dried completely and either wasn't taken care of or was stored improperly for way too long. I was incredibly upset that my friend wasn't even able to play his Christmas gift. He took the bongos to a music store and has some new heads on order, but I felt embarrassed, like I had gotten him a cheap set that ended up costing him money to buy new heads. All in all, these are supposedly a good brand, but I was extremely disappointed in the quality that they didn't even last an hour to be tuned properly.

These bongos seem to be pretty decent for the money. I compared them to some at a music store and the sound quality is definitely better with a higher priced set but thats to be expected. I don't have any experience with bongos but a man there tried this set out for me to help me tune it and he approved of them. They are for my son under age 10 so we don't need to spend a lot of money.

Have been drumming for 50 years, but with sticks. Decided to challenge myself so I started playing hand drums. First I went with a Djembe, then went to a Cajon and finally the bongos. For the price, the Latin Percussion CP Wood Bongos are very good quality. I love that they are turned with a key instead of a rope like the Djembe. Recommend them to anyone who is a serious beginner.

When I purchased these bongos, they were advertised as "dark wood" and had a picture of a mahogany finish. I received blonde pine wood bongos of overall poor quality. Heads are thin and the skin shows all the way around the rim. Not great sound quality. Would not recommend.

The Bongos came sooner than I expected. I bought them for my boyfriend. He plays them at least 3 times a week and they are still in great shape. He loves the little tool and bag that came with it. He thinks I spent big money on them even though I didn't. As long as he's satisfied so am I. I would recommend these to someone.
