Here are a couple pictures of my defunct band BruMar. I played bongos. A sweet pair of Meinl Woodcraft bongos.
In the end they were too wide for me.
It was a fun band, our singer was from Portugal and could sing in 3 languages. A couple of classical guitars and myself.
We did a few bossa nova tunes, some fado and some flamenco adaptions.
Very Nice postings ! I like the Meinl Bongos too but same deal, I did not care for such a wide set, For years I used them only as mounted bongos & finaly sold them to a friend for $220 + a new pair of Matador bongos ( he got a great up grade ! I lost $$ on the deal, but helped a fellow drummer. The drums I sold were the 20 year anniversary model that matched my Brass set & SS set of Luis Conte timbales that I bartered for some P.A. systems. The shells were great but a bit to large & heads would bond up & not tune well I I was disgusted in that ass backward devolutionary model that should at least have a free floating shell that fits standard drum heads correctly. Besides...the Bongos do not match my GB congas
