This set of Bongo Drums is the perfect introductory musical instrument which can be used to provide young children with an accessible creative outlet. The two drums, which are mounted on an elevated but reachable stand are each tuned to produce two different sounds, allowing for more complex musical dynamics. The drums can either be played with mallets (not included), or simply by striking them with your hands. The sturdy square post which holds up the drums is made from durable steel.
