And this despite taking great care of them. The bongos fortunately are still under warranty. I am going to return them to the dealer. I really liked them, and I liked also a lot the 9 " size of the Hembra. But I wonder: is it a freak event or is it the wood that's maybe insufficiently seasoned or with quality issues that's bound to occur again ?
After they receive my bongos back, I must decide whether to request them to send me a replacement of the same LP Dandy bongos, or instead to send me the Meinl WB500ZFA-M Woodcraft. The Meinl has also a 9" Hembra, but a bit smaller Macho (7" instead of 7 1/4"). The prices are about the same.
My question:
Would you recommend getting the same LP Dandy bongos or instead the Meinl WB500ZFA-M Woodcraft ?
