Book Reviews of Mel Bay The Bongo Book

Book Review: The Bongo Bible
Summary: 5 Stars

There is even a section on re-skinning a bongo head. You do-it-yourself'ers and drum tinkerers will LOVE this. It's easy and fun to put on a new head -- especially if you put goatskin on the macho (small bongo head).

If you have some bongos, thinking of buying some, or know an aspiring bongocero, this book is a MUST.
