  • RECALL: Popularized by shipfarers and pirates as signal communication from long distances, the bongos produce a relatively high-pitched sound compared to other drums. The bongos are meant to be held behind the knees, with the slightly larger drum on the right when the musician is right-handed. While the in the past some signals were conveyed using a hammer, musically the bongos are played by striking the edge of the drumheads with the fingers and palms, and the glissando is caused by rubbing the third finger supported by the thumb across the head of the drum. Bongos are most often made with wood, but can be made with shell or metal.
