I have been listening to many bongo albums, including those by Jack Constanzo, and others. I have a nice pair of expensive Bongos, but can't seem to get them up to the correct pitch..my bongos are LP fiberglass, not the cheap ones..but no matter what, I can't get that "aerosol spray paint rattle" sound that I am hearing on records...I have tightened them up as far as I believe is safe, but still seem to be about 4-5 notes too low. Were most of these old-school players using either smaller bongos or tri-bongos (with the much smaller high drum)?
