IQ Plus Natural Tunable Bongos - 15 & 18cm

Bongos are made of two differently-sized drums that are attached to one another. The larger one is called the “hembra” (meaning female in Spanish) and the smaller one is called the “macho” (meaning male). Tuned to varying pitches, the two are played together to create different tones and rhythms within a musical piece.

Children can enjoy playing the IQ Plus Bongos by clamping it between their legs, adjusting the macho to lean against one thigh, hembra angles down against the opposite calf, and start making music by striking the drums with the pads of their fingertips.

The bongos are one of the most popular instruments for beginner percussion players as it is one of the easiest to learn. Children will be able to enjoy creating different rhythms and sounds along with other percussion instruments as part of a band, or they can play individually as well!

Please always remember that our musical instruments are NOT toys and should be used with young children under the close supervision of responsible educationalists and carers. By following these simple guidelines you will ensure the children's learning, development and enjoyment playing music, as well as their safety.
