The Korena take

A 7.15-inch tucked Nuskyn head for bongos. Replacement part for players who want a synthetic head with a natural-skin feel.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn or split bongo head on the matching size
  • Players in humid or outdoor conditions where natural skin shifts pitch
  • Percussionists wanting skin-like tone with less tuning maintenance

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose bongo shell is not 7.15 inches — sizing is exact
  • Players committed to real animal skin for feel and response
  • Drummers looking for a drum set head; this is a hand-drum head

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

7.15 inch

Bongo heads are sized to the shell, not rounded off. Measure your existing head before ordering.

Detail 02

Tucked

The head is already wrapped around a flesh hoop and ready to mount. No tucking work needed at home.

Detail 03

Nuskyn material

A synthetic built to feel and sound closer to natural skin than plain film, with more stability in changing weather.

Detail 04

Hand drum head

Made for bare-hand playing. Slaps and open tones respond differently than a stick-struck drumhead.

Detail 05

Single head

This covers one drum. A bongo pair needs both the macho and hembra sizes, so you may need a second head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure the head, not the shell rim, to confirm 7.15 inches
  2. 02Sold as one head — the other bongo needs its own size
  3. 03You will need a drum key or wrench to pull the old head off

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Which bongo drum does this fit?

It fits a 7.15-inch bongo. Check which of your two drums matches that size before ordering, since the pair uses different diameters.

02Do I get both bongo heads?

No. This is one head at one size. The other drum in the pair takes a different diameter.

03How does Nuskyn compare to natural skin?

It aims for a similar feel and warmth but holds tuning better through humidity and temperature swings.

04Is it ready to install?

Yes. It comes tucked on a flesh hoop, so you remove the old head, seat this one, and tension it.
