i suggest these bongos. i have some because i am an amateur musician, and i like to record music a lot, and every song is a little better when you add bongos!
really fun to have around. they aren't world class or anything, but with a little tuning you can really make them sing. I am happy I bought them. they don't feel cheap or anything, and they sound good live and when i record them.

I will recommend these to you because they work for me very well. But I have to say they are really small! That's what everyone says -'these bongos are too small!' but for my small hands they are good. And they sound fantastic, and are tunable. Nice instrument, but definitely for smaller hands.

Tycoon Percussion 6 Inch & 7 Inch Ritmo Bongos - Mahogany Finish

These are great intro level, casual bongos for a budding percussionist or anyone with a passion for music! I'm not going to say they are professional quality, because come on they are 50 bucks, and what professionals are shopping on Amazon for bongos, anyways?
But they are wonderful sounding bongos, and they sound professional enough. I mean they sound like bongos. Fun to play, nice looking. Good stuff! I recommend them!
