The hide thickness measures approximately 1 mm, so it balances responsiveness with durability. When new, the head height is around 30 mm, which helps ensure even seating and smooth tuning on compatible shells. In addition, the hoop profile matches all LP Traditional and X Series bongo rims in the corresponding size, supporting reliable installation and alignment.Performance and Use CaseOnce installed and tuned gradually, the LP264C produces a warm, rounded bongo tone with clear articulation across open tones and slaps. Because the hide remains untreated, it reacts naturally to touch and dynamic variation. As a result, players can shape phrasing more easily and maintain consistent control. This head suits students, educators, and performers who value traditional feel combined with dependable tuning stability. Moreover, steady tuning allows the hide to settle evenly over time.Key FeaturesSize: 9″ bongo headHand-selected untanned buffalo hideApproximate thickness: 1 mmApproximate head height when new: 30 mmDesigned for LP Traditional and X Series bongo rimsPremium head selection for improved consistencyCrown-diameter-based sizing aligned with LP and REMO standardsMore InformationThe hoop determines the outer diameter of the head, while the stated size refers to the crown diameter at the bearing edge.
