Meinl Artist, Professional and Collection Series bongos are crafted to meet the demands of recording and touring artists. Master percussionist Luis Conte’s signature bongos travel with him and many other top players, as do our Professional Series wood bongos. Meinl professional level bongos come in unique sizes and shapes, featuring a variety of finishes and materials, all with the goal of creating world-class sound.
Luis Conte model
Starting with the Luis Conte signature model, these Siam oak bongos are outfitted with True Skin cow heads and feature the traditional solid woodblock connection, a design element that Luis wanted to include on the bongos bearing his name. Other professional bongos have shells that are contoured to form greater resonance by having a slight hour glass shape.
