If you like dark woods and that remind you of the tropics, you're going to love our Monkeypod bongos. This is our newest and wildest addition to our family of bongos. Due to the popularity of Monkeypod congas, we were asked to make bongos to match. These drums come in Premium grade wood and are outfitted with our Master-crafted Stainless Steel hardware buffed to a mirror finish. Their available in 7"& 8.5"x 6" or 7"& 9" x 6" shell size and can be fitted for Texas Kip skins or Remo heads as shown above. There is no Monkeypod wood in the world to match Hawaii's for beauty and sound. "Every Drum is an Original".
Monkeypod usually trends a little bit cheaper in price than Koa, all other things being equal. Boards with figured grain patterns are much more expensive. Color tends to be a golden to dark brown, sometimes with darker streaks. Sapwood is usually thin and yellow/white, clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Monkeypod is sometimes seen with highly figured curly or wild grain patterns.
