Bongo nuts: literally, the nuts on a bongo

[Alan Friesen]

Sorry for the dumb question, but do all recent bongos use the same size nut on the tuning hardware? If I were going to get something like this (http://www.wingkey.net/), would it fit a Pearl Elite or Pearl Folkloric set?

Alan, on the pro ones ,some use 5/16 or .3125 " tunning lugs and some others use 3/8 0r .375 " tunning lug. That means you need a 1/2 box wrench or a 9/16 . If the size of the nut is less than do not buy the Bongó.

I would use an actual wrench to tune, it has more leverage due to the long handle.

The wing Key should be good for tightening the large wing nuts on your stands and percussion accessories.
