I have something called a mombasa or tong drum. It's a wooden rectangular box
with seven "tongues" jig-sawed into the top. The individual tongues are tuned
and are hit with rubber-headed sticks. It's African and sounds great.
Got it from Elderly Instruments, mail order.

| I have one of those. It was bought for me at an art show. Mine has
the 'tongues' carved in the shapes of animals. They do sound neat.

I don't have an Elderly catalog with me but I know the address and phone
number were posted within the past few days in COOKIE::FOLK_MUSIC. I'll
take a quick look.
Memory has been failing me lately, but I think the seven-tongue model was
about $140. There's a five-tonguer for less $.

| Anybody got a recommendation for bongoes (or is it bongos?)? I want tunable
heads and a humane price.

| Latin Percussion, or their import brand Cosmic Percussion are *the*
brand for small percussion toys.
