The new Matador Custom Bongos are anchored with high strength steel bottoms for stability, and a new ribbed shell design enhances shell strength in addition to giving it a unique look. The shells are constructed from kiln-dried Siam oak, and topped with hand-selected traditional size 7-1/4" and 8-5/8" rawhide heads. It's a winning combination -- a bongo that projects a range of crisp highs and lower mids and looks fantastic! Matador Custom Bongos are available in finishes matching their Custom Conga counterparts, and come with a durable tuning wrench.
