Latin Percussion CP221-AW Traditional Wood Bongos

The Latin Percussion CP221-AW Traditional Wood Bongos are crafted from kiln-dried Siam Oak, a material selected for its tonal warmth and resistance to warping over time. The pair features a 6-inch macho and 7-inch hembra drum, each topped with a natural rawhide head that delivers the bright, crackling slaps and deep open tones associated with traditional Afro-Cuban percussion. Cuban-style steel bottoms reinforce the shells and contribute added projection, while black powder-coated rims offer both durability and a classic aesthetic.

Tuning is handled via 9/32-inch diameter lugs, giving players straightforward control over head tension to dial in their preferred pitch and response. The included carry bag adds practical value for musicians who need to transport their instrument between home, rehearsal, and performance venues. As part of the Latin Percussion CP (Cosmic Percussion) line, the CP221-AW is positioned as a quality traditional bongo set that balances authentic materials and construction with everyday affordability — a solid choice for students, hobbyists, and working percussionists who value genuine rawhide tone.
