MEINL

collapse expand iconDescription

Durable and lightweight, the Meinl Headliner Series bongos provide a range of tones perfect for percussionists of any skill level. The HB50s feature natural rawhide drum heads that produce warm, resonant notes with clear pitch definition. These versatile bongos offer a spectrum of tones for any player. No matter your musical genre, the HB50s have a tone you'll love.

Lightweight yet Roadworthy

Weighing in at just 5 pounds, the HB50 bongos are easy to transport and play standing or sitting. Though lightweight, their ABS plastic shells are roadworthy and impact resistant. The HB50s' compact size makes them ideal for tight stages or studios.

Responsive Rawhide Heads

The HB50 bongos' natural rawhide heads are highly responsive, producing a wide range of tones from high-pitched slaps to deep bass notes. Their medium-tight tension provides enough rebound for complex rhythms while still being playable by beginners. The rawhide heads' warmth pairs well with any genre from Afro-Cuban to rock.

Hardware That Holds Tune

Meinl's rugged hardware keeps the HB50 bongos in tune through hours of play. Their rims securely grip the rawhide heads, while steel-backed rubber feet prevent slipping. The HB50s' tuning brackets make head changes and tuning adjustments fast and frustration-free.

Versatile and Affordable

Whether you're a pro percussionist or just starting out, the Meinl Headliner Series bongos offer versatile, great-sounding tones at an affordable price. Experience Meinl's famously high quality at a budget-friendly price.

    So I bought these and the only ones left were the ones used as display and I don't have a tuning key of my own. Is there any way I could get the right tuning key for this specific instrument? Or what other kind of tuning key would work?
