Moreover, steady tuning allows the hide to settle evenly and maintain stable pitch.Key FeaturesSize: 5 1/4″ bongo headHand-selected untanned buffalo hideApproximate thickness: 1 mmApproximate head height when new: 30 mmDesigned for LP Traditional and X Series bongo rimsPremium head selection for improved consistencyCrown-diameter-based sizing for LP and REMO compatibilityMore InformationThe hoop determines the outer diameter of the head, while the stated size refers to the crown diameter at the bearing edge.
