Pete - it's never foolish to buy bongos!
I'd start out by tuning them - some info here:
And some basics here:
Plus plenty more on this guy's Youtube channel. I'd start with the martillo rhythm, because it covers a few useful techniques/strokes and it sounds good. Loads of stuff on Youtube to either scare or inspire you!
Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks Pete.
The hard work starts now. It is a very different playing style to the bodhran, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
Cheers mate

Hi Pete
Thanks for your advice and help.
However I could not get it working for me.
The Bongos now have a new home with Glen Campbell. Talented musician of this parish!
He will I am sure put them to better use than me.
Wish him well.
