Bongos From salseros to beatniks, bongos have captured the imagination of music lovers around the world. The bongos are easy to pick up but difficult to master, making them a rewarding instrument for casual and dedicated players alike. Construction A bongo drum consists of two slightly conical, open-bottomed wooden drums joined together by a central block. The smaller drum is referred to as the macho, while the larger, lower-pitched drum is the hembra. The drum skins are traditionally made from rawhide. Some modern bongos use synthetic material instead, which is easier to maintain and vegetarian-friendly. Today, a metal frame keeps the skin taut and can be used to tune the drum to produce different pitches. Historically, though, the drums were tuned by tacking the hide down and then heating it to shrink it.
