Made from renewable resources so the music never ends





Latin Percussion Galaxy Giovanni Bongos are made from plantation-grown wood. By using renewable resources, LP protects the world's forests. This helps ensure an adequate wood supply to produce instruments for generations to come. The wood is sorted and graded, so only top quality wood is used. LP brand bongos must not only look good but also stand up to diverse climates and vigorous playing conditions.





Kiln-dried wood gives your bongos lasting strength





The wood used in LP brand bongos is kiln (oven) dried. Why is that important? Using kiln-dried wood allows LP to control the wood's moisture content level during the manufacturing process. Wood, even after it is harvested, expands and contracts. The wood used to manufacture all fine wood instruments, including bongos, must have just the right moisture content level to help prevent the instrument from cracking and breaking. Latin Percussion bongos are played by the world's most demanding players in all seasons and climates, in every region of the world. Using kiln dried wood helps the Latin Percussion Galaxy Giovanni Bongos stand up to many different environmental and playing conditions.





Play with confidence





All LP brand bongos are fitted with tuning lugs manufactured from specially heat-treated, high-carbon steel that feature precision-cut threads for smooth tuning, strength, and durability. Due to the enormous amount of the stress that is required to tune a bongo head, the design of the sideplate is crucial. During the tuning process, there is enormous tension pull-ing on the upper part of the sideplate. Because of this, LP brand sideplates are wider at the top to distribute the tension from the head and rim over a larger surface area - his provides for additional durability.
