Meinl Percussion Marathon Designer Series Bongos - Amber Flame

6.75" and 8" Oak Bongos with Rawhide Heads and Free Ride Suspension System - Amber Flame

Take Your Bongo Game to the Next Level

Players who are ready to upgrade from their first set of bongos need look no further than Meinl Percussion's Marathon Designer series bongos. Competitively priced and made with Siam oak shells, Marathon Designer series bongos offer a bright and crispy tone. Traditional rawhide heads not only complete the tonal profile, but they also contribute a great playing feel. By using its patented Free Ride Suspension System, Meinl maximizes shell resonance, resulting in extra-powerful projection. The bongos come standard with SSR-rims that play and perform admirably. Grab a pair of Meinl Marathon Designer series bongos from Sweetwater and experience the next-level sound for yourself!

Free Ride Suspension System: uninhibited resonance

Meinl's patented Free Ride Suspension System holds the hembra and macho together. This system attaches to the bottom rims, unlike the traditional center block requiring holes for mounting hardware, which consequently robs you of resonance and projection. The drill-free design of the Free Ride Suspension System enables the shells to resonate uninhibited. Even better, this suspension system can still fit into most common bongo stands.

Traditional heads and easy-tuning rims

Sure these bongos are fun to look at, but it's the playing experience that sets them apart from other bongos in this price range. You'll love the tone and traditional playing feel provided by the natural buffalo hide heads. The Marathon Designer series' SSR-Rims are super comfortable on your hands while providing firm and even tension across the head. For authentic tone and a satisfying playing experience, look no further than a set of Marathon Designer series bongos.
