Because the hide remains untreated, it reacts naturally to touch and dynamic changes. As a result, players gain better control and consistency.

Moreover, steady tuning allows the hide to settle evenly and maintain stable pitch over time.Key FeaturesSize: 6 3/4″ bongo headHand-selected untanned buffalo hide with LP Original logoApproximate thickness: 1 mmApproximate head height when new: 30 mmDesigned for LP Traditional and X Series bongo rimsPremium LP hand-picked head qualityCrown-diameter-based sizing aligned with LP and REMO standardsMore InformationLP1964 shells have a slightly smaller shell diameter, although the quality and properties of this head remain identical to standard hand-picked LP bongo heads.
