Got this Ismael from Omelenko. My biggest and heaviest bongo with the biggest and heaviest sound. A real "concert" bongo. Very precise tuning with the extra lug. Gives your legs a real workout too - usually play on a low stand.

The above Ismael screams. Very precise tunning. Incredible sound projection.

I don't own a set , never will..find the extra lug totally unnecessary , adds extra weight ... :wink:
