Hi ElCreepo, (you seem brave to choose that name
)
I play LP bongos with the comfort curve, usually in the seated (tradidional) position.
They are heavy, but I re-position the tuning lugs so they sit right in the corners of my legs where the knees bend - this makes them easier to grip with the legs, and prevents the legs from getting bruised by the tuning lugs.
hope this helps some,
yoni
