RADIAL PLY CONSTRUCTION BONGO 6 3/4" & 8"

NAMM 2014: The new Radial Ply Construction on Meinl’s RAPC bongo was adopted from traditional drumset shell building techniques. It uses several thin layers of wood being formed together to make a super strong shell that is lighter and more resonant. Meinl's patented Free Ride system that allows the bongos to be joined with no holes drilled in the shells. Innovative stuff.
