    I just got bongos. They are naturally low sounding but the screws were turned all the way; but when I turned the wrench already they are up an octave. And they sound perfect for the sound I want to produce. Thanks for this informative video

    I don't get why there isn't more talk about tuning to certain notes. It makes a lot more sense to tune drums to each other, like C and G as the high fifth. Using a tuner on your phone or whatever. Why would you just randomly decide that it sounds alright when they might not be in tune with each other?

    "Do I tell you how to tune your bongos?" Will be my new saying for busy bodies and know-it-alls 😂

    Tuning Bongos, you have to tune Bangos. My head is about to explode due to this new discovery and information. Surprisingly the outcome cured the explosion and healed heavenly now I'm happy. Maybe I should get bongos so I can play like Donkey Kong does on the Nintendo GameCube. Thank you so much.

    This is your 5th video on RUclips about tuning bongos as far as I can see. I can hardly wait to watch the 6th! But thanks a lot for all the great work.

    Honestly my bongos made crack sounds so loud my neighbors heard them, I hadn't tuned them in over two years

    Super fun first lesson, when i got my set and it didn't sound proper i felt so discouraged. I thought the wrench was to set them into a special stand, but thanks to this lesson my babies are sounding proper. Thank you World drum club

    I love this guy! His instructions and silly commentary like the "backwards" wrench is great.

    I just bought some bongos and was so disappointed with the sound of the drums. So easy to fix it with your knowledge. Thanks this was really helpful 🙏

    Thanks world drum club i found this video to be the most useful out of all the bongo tuning vids I've seen. i hear them Crack sometimes so I never really tuned them up high enough for salsa music until now. I can rest knowing it's normal for that to happen when tuning them.
