I haven't played in a few years now, and I really got a great deal on these congas. They did not come with a tuning key but it was easy to adapt and overcome. I had to tune them before I could really get into feeling the right sound. They do sound great and for the price, the quality is fantastic. I know that I am going to have these around for a long time just playing along to music and going to some drum circles & more. The stand that came with the congas is very well built, sturdy, and adjustable to whatever height is needed to play them. If you are a beginner or if you are looking to add to your kit, these are a great addition! I recommend these congas!

Congas are great for musical expression and stress relief as well. My only complaint coincides with why I like them so much. I get carried away with the spiritual sounds they elicit and I hit them too hard, and they adjust themselves on their stands. They aren't meant to be abused, they're meant to be tapped and caressed. I've been a bit too aggressive, though, and I bruised my right index finger because I played too hard. It feels weird to have a bruised index finger. The congas can help you learn rhythm and tempo and get attuned to a musical continuum you didn't know existed. They include a wrench so you can tune the drums to the tone you prefer. In my opinion everyone should experience a musical instrument in some way during their life, and these congas are a simple way to do that and they don't require knowledge of music theory; they put you at a very elemental level of music. They aren't nearly as intimidating as a guitar, for example, and they're a lot of fun. Read full review

Very well made. Adjustable in height with it's tripod base. I suggest aligning one leg in the front , two legs in rear, and setting the lower chome set-screw and sleeve first then lower the united drum set down to clip onto the lower sleeve. I only wish I could adjust the drums closer to each other. The skins on top are tightenable with the enclosed wrench.
