Designed by Schlagwerk, a benchmark in modern percussion and cajons, the Pocket Bongos condense the aesthetics and language of bongos into a pocket-sized format. They represent a contemporary alternative to skin instruments, conceived for mobility, tuning stability, and durability, within the brand's family of portable percussion instruments.
Perfect for beginners as well as experienced musicians, the Pocket Bongos are suitable for educational workshops, acoustic sets, and street music. Their quick and clear response serves pop, world music, Latin grooves, and improvisation, as well as folk and singer-songwriter accompaniment.
The SC6 playing surface accurately captures finger, palm, or slap techniques while offering excellent dynamic control. The stable structure requires no maintenance or tuning and remains consistent regardless of the environment. The two sizes WB14 and WB16 provide complementary registers, from sharp midrange to more laid-back low tones. Ultra-flat, they can be placed on the knees, a table, or atop a cajon, and are easily carried daily without constraint, especially in the TA3 bag.
The gabun body with design veneer delivers a woody warmth and natural spectral cohesion. The attack, close to that of a compact cajon, remains clear and precise to articulate ghost notes and offbeats, while the slap recovers the typical "snap" of bongos.
The short sustain favors an incisive and clear groove, ideal for syncopated patterns and acoustic accompaniment. By varying the striking zone from the edge to the center, one moves from a bright timbre to a rounder tone, facilitating left-hand/right-hand dialogues in the traditional bongo style.
