2.0 out of 5 stars Not so bongo for First Act bongos, September 30, 2008

I'm a musician, so my expectations going into the transaction were fairly low; however, my knowledge of First Act as a decent manufacturer led me down the path of hope. Um, yeah ... I think these bongos are more of a Last Act. While the wood construction seems pretty solid, the bongo heads were really bad. And given that these are often given to children, it would be nice to have removable "feet," which would allow small children to set them on a table or the floor and still get some sort of resonance.

If you just want something for the kids to bang on, they're fine. But if you harbor any hope of your child being inspired to create music, spend the dough and get entry-level "real" bongos.

This is a good bongo set to begin learning with, though with a little practice and skill, one can easily outgrow them quickly.

you need to hold the bongos up in order for the sound to resonate. a bit difficult for a 2 1/2 year old. however, sound is decent even though the tops are made of what seems like cardboard. our son loves to "drum" every thing he sees. but he stopped playing with these after a few minutes. maybe in another 6mo to a year he'll enjoy them.
