I played serious bongos (and Djembe) for 5 years in a band with a pair of 2nd hand bongo which were ok. I have finally invested in a quality pair of bongos. Man, what a difference.You can see that these will last you for a very long time. Very nice finish /sound. Fairly heavy.
Free ride system seems ok.
Too soon to tell but I was worried that it would not fit on a normal bongo stand but it does.
Not cheap but you pay for what you get.
