With the Pocket Bongos, Schlagwerk transposes the spirit of bongos into the cajon universe: practicality, durability, and mobility. Designed to accompany musicians everywhere, this format holds a unique place in the range, between a creative accessory and a true stage instrument for light setups and spontaneous playing.
Designed for beginners as well as experienced percussionists, the Pocket Bongos also appeal to teachers and travelers. Their immediate playability makes them an effective educational tool, while their portability delights street musicians, singer-songwriters, and acoustic session enthusiasts. They perform particularly well in pop, folk, Latin music, and intimate jams.
The concept combines a flat construction with a highly responsive SC6 playing surface, optimized for finger and palm techniques. The stable materials require no adjustment, ensuring a consistent sound wherever you play. Offered in two complementary sizes (WB14 and WB16), they cover distinct registers and allow precise alternation between bass tones, open tones, and slaps. The whole design offers natural ergonomics on the knees, on a table, or integrated into a hybrid percussion setup.
The SC6 surface delivers a sharp attack, clear slaps, and excellent dynamic clarity. The gabun body with design veneer adds a woody warmth and present midrange, producing a dry yet musical percussive sound, close to the cajon aesthetic while retaining the liveliness of bongos. The sustain is short and punchy, ideal for driving rhythms without overshadowing other instruments.
The WB14 emphasizes brightness and projection in the upper midrange, perfect for intricate patterns. The WB16 provides more body and roundness, useful for anchoring the groove in duo with guitar or vocals. Together, they form a versatile mini-set, always in tune and ready to play.
