Hayman BG-405-YE Hardwood Bongos – 6.85″ & 7.95″, high-gloss yellow lacquer, natural rawhide heads, black powder-coated hardware
Sunshine for the eyes, earth for the ears: the BG-405-YE radiates onstage with a vibrant high-gloss yellow finish laid over resonant hardwood shells, while the drums speak in the organic language of natural rawhide heads—alive to every fingertip nuance. Framing that burst of colour is rugged black powder-coated steel hardware that shrugs off road wear and moisture. Classic diameters—6.85″ macho and 7.95″ hembra—project articulate slaps and a rounded bass bloom, perfect for salsa breaks, Afro-Cuban solos or unplugged fusion sets.
Rounded bearing edges help the hides seat quickly and hold pitch for marathon gigs. Heavy-gauge tension rods glide on precision threads, locking micro-adjustments against heat and humidity, while the low-profile hardwood centre block frees knee space for flamboyant technique. Mid-density hardwood focuses attack without the boxy ring of cheap laminates, giving engineers a studio-friendly tone that still fills a plaza. Tap gently and the heads whisper airy harmonics; dig in and they erupt in woody warmth synthetics can only imitate.
Order through Elit Music and add over 30 years of expertise plus a professional pre-flight setup—your BG-405-YE arrives tuned, polished, and ready to lift the groove the instant you open the box.
