Bongos are a pair of Cuban attached hand drums. The larger one is the hembra (female) and the smaller the macho (male). They are held between the knees when played.

Bongos are assigned the number 211.251.1 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
2 = Membranophones. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
21 = Struck Membranophones. Sound is produced by hitting the drumskin with a hand or object.
211 = Directly Struck Membranophones. Instruments in which the membrane is struck directly.
211.2 = Tubular Drums. Instruments in which the body is tubular.
211.25 = Conical Drums. Instruments in which the body is conical-shaped.
211.251 = Instruments which have only one usable membrane.
211.251.1 = Instruments in which the end without a membrane is open.
