Meinl Marathon Designer Series Wood Bongos - Super Natural Matte
The Meinl Marathon Series Wood Bongo delivers professional-grade construction at a price point suited for ambitious beginners or as a reliable secondary set. Built from Siam Oak with a Super Natural matte finish, these bongos feature hand-selected buffalo skin heads that produce warm, authentic tones with excellent projection. The MEINL Free Ride Suspension System allows the drums to resonate freely for maximum sustain and tonal clarity, while black powder-coated hardware and 8 mm tuning lugs ensure durability and precise tuning stability. The 2 mm rounded SSR rims provide a comfortable playing surface that stands up to extended sessions without sacrificing response.
