Meinl Free Ride Bongos feature a connector between the macho (small) and hembra (large) heads that allows the shells to ring freely, as opposed to traditional block connectors which are screwed directly into the shells.
Meinl FWB190 Bongos are designed for beginners and/or professionals looking for a modestly-priced secondary set. Meinl has included several high-end features with these instruments, including the Free Ride Suspension System, black powder-coated hardware, hand-saving SSR rims (2.5mm), and hand-selected buffalo skin heads. Included as well: an accessory pouch, tune-up oil, and an L-shaped tuning key.
