LP M199-AW Mini Bongos

I've got this mainly for my home studio recording.
The instrument comes with its tuning wrench and is very easy to tune. When tuned right and played with the proper technique it produces a pleasant percussive sound. I've only had the instrument for over a day so I cannot really vouch for the long-term durability or quality, but it does look solid.

These mini bongos are a great little item. Not only are they extremely well made and aesthetically pleasing, as is to be expected from LP, but they sound deceptively good. The sound produced is dry and poppy but with warmth. It doesn't project a lot because of their size, but they are ideal to practise digital dexterity on or just get an even lighter sound than normal bongos. They are easily tuned and the heads are of great quality. These mini bongos aren't just a cheaper version of LP bongos, they are exactly the same, just smaller. Also make great display pieces.

These are fantastic for when you'd like to have some bongos with you but regular size ones would be too much to cart along. You can crank them up and enjoy surprising sound and playability given that they're a novelty item. In addition they look great; very much like Gen IIs, just much smaller. Definitely a thumbs-up. I would recommend them.
