Meinl Marathon Series Wood Bongos - Natural
The Meinl Marathon Series Wood Bongo delivers professional-level features in a package suited for ambitious beginners and gigging musicians who need a reliable secondary instrument. Built from Siam Oak with a high-gloss natural finish, these bongos feature hand-selected buffalo skin heads that produce warm, articulate tones with excellent projection. The MEINL Free Ride Suspension System connects the 6.75" macho and 8" hembra drums while allowing each shell to resonate freely for maximum sustain and tonal clarity. Black powder-coated hardware with sturdy 8mm tuning lugs and 2mm rounded SSR rims ensure smooth, precise tuning and long-lasting durability.
