Overview
Latin Percussion makes the LPM199-AW as a mini, fully tunable bongo pair with natural rawhide heads. The shells are siam oak with a natural finish, and Mini Comfort Curve II rims round off the edge under the hands.
Rawhide heads and full tunability set these apart from toy bongos, so a player can dial each drum to taste. Their mini size limits depth and projection, and the listing does not give head diameters.
Who it's for
Small apartments, campfire circles and practice sessions suit a compact pair with real rawhide heads. Stage percussionists needing full size projection should go to a standard bongo pair.
Pros and cons
- Fully tunable heads
- Natural rawhide for an organic tone
- Siam oak shells
- Rounded Comfort Curve II rims
- Head diameters not listed
- Mini size limits low end depth
- No stand or bag included
Performance notes
Pitch is set by tightening the rawhide heads over the oak shells, so the player controls how bright or deep each drum sounds. The small shells limit resonance, so the tone stays crisp and higher pitched. Rim comfort matters over long sessions, and the curved rims reduce the hard edge under the palms.

Frequently asked questions
How do you keep the LP mini bongos in tune?
The LPM199-AW is fully tunable, so the rawhide heads can be tightened or loosened to bring each drum back to pitch. No tool is listed as included, so confirm what the tuning hardware needs.
Are the LP mini bongos a kids toy?
No. They have rawhide heads, oak shells and full tuning, the features of a regular bongo pair in a smaller format.
Do the LP mini bongos come with a stand?
No included components are listed, so a stand or bag is a separate purchase.
