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 FWB200 Bongos are slightly more prestigious than the FWB190 Series, including several high-end features: the Free Ride Suspension System, chrome-plated 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.
