Detail 01
7 in. and 8 in. heads
Undersized against standard bongos, so both drums sit higher in pitch and the larger one has less body.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A small pair of bongos with 7- and 8-inch heads on 6.5-inch shells, priced for classrooms and beginners rather than gigging players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A first hand drum for a child or beginner
- Classroom percussion where volume has to stay manageable
- Quiet acoustic playing at home or around a fire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Percussionists needing full-size bongos that project on stage
- Recording work that wants deep, well-tuned low drum tone
- Setups built around stand or bracket mounting
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 02
6 1/2 in. shell height
Short shells hold less air. The note is tighter and drier with little sustain behind it.
Detail 03
Matched pair, joined
You get the high and low drums together, which is what makes the two-pitch bongo pattern possible.
Detail 04
"Deluxe" in the name
It signals trim level, not size. The heads are still small at 7 and 8 inches.
Detail 05
Roughly $63
Entry pricing. Hardware is simple and built for handling rather than for touring or hard tuning.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are these real bongos or a toy?
Real drums, just small. Seven- and eight-inch heads on short shells give a higher, drier voice than full-size bongos, at a beginner price.
02Can a child play these?
Yes. The small heads and short shells sit easily between a child's knees and stay light enough to hold.
03Can I use these on a gig?
They will not project like full-size bongos. Fine for practice, teaching and quiet acoustic settings; mic them for anything louder.
04Do they arrive tuned?
Check them on arrival either way. Head tension shifts in shipping and with humidity, and the two drums should sit a clear interval apart.
