FREE RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM (patented)
The Macho and Hembra are no longer attached to each other by a wooden block mounted between the shells spoiling the resonance of the instrument. Whereas with the patented MEINL Free Ride Suspension System the two drums are fi rmly attached utilizing the bottom rims which results in not having to drill into the bongo shells. It allows for the fi rst time ever, freely resonating bongo shells.
RESONANCE SHAPING AREA
The MEINL Resonance Shaping Area is a fi ne solution to enhance the resonance of the bongos. The center part of the two bongo shells are crafted thinner than usual while still maintaining its full stability. The result is a superior timbre and better resonance of the instrument.
TRUE SKIN COW HEADS
The original MEINL True Skin Cow Heads are perfect sounding hides for bongos and meet all requirements demanded by professional players. They have outstanding sound qualities, are easy to tune, resistant, and have a smooth surface for comfortable playing. True Skin hides are selected by specialists. After the selection process, each skin is gently tanned using a special MEINL procedure and then mounted by hand to become a first class True Skin Head.
SSR
The MEINL Safe & Sound-Rim (SSR) for bongos features a rounded profi le to support a comfortable playing feel and to assist in the prevention of palm injuries.
TTR
The MEINL Traditional-Tuning-Rim (TTR) for bongos represents the traditional “Cuban Style.” They are narrowly placed around the shell and enhances the overall bongo sound.
