Tunable Bongo Drums – 6″+7″ & 4″+5″, Pine / Beech / Two-Tone (031509–031513)

The tunable bongo is our hand-percussion entry outside the tambourine and frame-drum lines: a matched pair of drums joined by a solid wooden block, with real goat-leather heads tensioned by metal hardware and a tuning wrench included in the box. Five models cover two size pairs — the 6″+7″ pair (031509, 031510, 031511, 031512) and the smaller 4″+5″ pair (031513) — across three woods and two hardware finishes, so a buyer can build a whole bongo line with one supplier.

Key Specifications

Five Models, Three Woods, Two Hardware Finishes

Bongo buyers decide on two things — how the shell looks and whether the tuning hardware is meant to be seen. This family splits cleanly along both.

All five keep the same shape of design: a solid wood connecting block, goat-leather heads, black feet and the same full-color box — so a mixed order arrives as one line rather than five unrelated products.

How to Choose Between the Two Size Pairs

The 6″+7″ pair is the standard bongo format and the one to lead with; the 4″+5″ pair is the smaller option for younger players and tighter shelf space. One practical note for your catalogue and web team: because each pair is photographed to fill the frame, the two sizes can look similar in a product photo. The physical difference is real, and is stated in the size table above — present it with text and dimensions rather than relying on the image alone.

Where Tuning Happens

Both drums are tuned with the supplied wrench over metal hardware. On four models the L-rods run inside the shell so the outside stays clean; on the 031512 the rim is chrome-plated and the tuning lugs are exposed, so the drum both looks and reads as an instrument you service. Tell us which presentation suits your market and we will build the range around it.

Product Highlights

Applications

Product Positioning

The bongo is one of two tunable families we build: the other is the 10″ tunable hand drum (031020), which uses a chrome tension hoop over a buffalo-leather head. Buyers who need a fixed-head frame drum instead will find our high-grade beech hand drum and the standard hand drum in the same catalogue, while the jingle side of the range starts with the kids tambourine. The point of grouping them here is simple: a school or importer can assemble a complete percussion kit — drums, bongos and jingles — from one factory rather than three.

It is built on the same production line as our own consumer brand Musicube.

Quality & Manufacturing

The shells are turned from solid wood and finished in PU paint; the goat-leather heads are fitted and tensioned by hand, and tuning is checked before packing. Where applicable, product testing and compliance documentation are reviewed according to the target market and agreed product requirements — tell us your destination market and we will confirm what applies to your order.

OEM / ODM: Make It Yours

Once the instrument is proven, the next question is how it starts carrying your brand:

• Logo: print on the shell or the connecting block, from low trial quantities.
• Woods: pinewood, beechwood and neem + pinewood are all in production — a custom stain can be quoted at volume.
• Hardware: black-painted or chrome-plated, matched to the rim and lugs.
• Head: natural goat leather is standard — the tuning hardware makes head replacement straightforward in the field.
• Packaging: the full-color box takes your artwork natively — no sleeve needed.
• Set building: mixed 6″+7″ and 4″+5″ cartons for classroom kits, barcoded per SKU.
• Documentation: where applicable, product testing and compliance documentation are reviewed according to the target market and agreed product requirements.
