EB Flatwound Cobalts / Bongo 5 HH

EB Flatwound Cobalts / Bongo 5 HH

I am in a bit of a dilemma here, I have just recently acquired a new Bongo 5HH that came with the stock Roundwound Slinky’s which I really like the sound of. But I am a Flatwound Guy and although I love the sound of the Slinky’s on my Bongo I miss the feel of Flats. I have a set of Flatwound Cobalts and I am itching to put them on, but I don’t want to lose that zing that I get with the Slinky’s.
So if I put Cobalt Flats on my Bongo will it lose much of its characteristic tone.
