Good quality and nice sound
These bongos have a composite shell which looks very good. Buffalo hide heads are top quality. Decent hardware. The sound is on the high side but it has a very nice pop when the heads are tensioned. Very satisfied with these bongos. I am curious how a $500 pair would sound compared to these, but I can’t imagine they’d be that much better. A professional percussionist checked them out and said they were just fine and the higher pitch would complement his congas.

Good quality, well made
These bongos are a nice weight and have good sound. They were a gift for a beginner and he was pleased with them. They are durable but will take some practice to learn to play them well.

I purchased these bongos for my son for Christmas - we are both very pleased. Although the shell is plastic it is quite sturdy. The bongos have a pleasing sound and are of good build quality. Overall the quality surpasses what I expected based on the reasonable price. I will buy more Meinl products in the future. I am very satisfied.

Huge Bangs for Your Bucks
These things are exactly as advertised, hours of bongo fun! Maybe the least expensive semi-pro quality musical instrument in existence

Great beginner bongos with good quality
These bongos have solid construction and are a great set for beginners. They sound great. I wasn't sure about the ABS body instead of wood but it doesn't seem to effect the tone that much. I get a nice bright bong and a nice lower tone on the bigger one. The hide skin heads are the same high quality they put on their more expensive ones and the hardware is solid and won't break. For the price these are excellent quality bongos made by a major drum company.

This is the first pro style bongos I ever played on.. so my review is going to be colored. And so is the sound from these great bongos. Warm and delicious when I want and that pop is right there waiting for me. Nothing at all about this one sounds "plastic", and because it is.. it is more resistant to humidity. Great fun.
