LP's Generation III bongos are crafted of kiln dried, environmentally friendly Siam Oak, and feature a slightly larger head size which provides additional bottom end response and greater volume. These bongos come equipped with similar shell contour to LP Generation II bongos, specially designed steel backing plate, hand selected, natural rawhide heads, and Traditional rims and Cuban style bottoms, both crafted from high strength steel in a chrome finish. They also feature 5/16" diameter tuning lugs that have been carefully formed to hug the shell, making the bongos as comfortable for playing as possible.
