I would like to eventually get wood congas again, but haven't seen any mass-produced quintos with a small 9" head, like the old fiberglass LP Patato "Super Quinto" I have.
Anyone know who makes a good wooden quinto with a 9" diameter head?
Thanks,
yoni

Hi Yoni, hope all is well! I recommend you contact Jay Bereck's of Skin on Skin drums, or Natalio "Junior" Tirado, both guys out of NYC. I'm pretty sure they can customise a 9" Quinto for you.
Hope this helps!

I do own three "Junior" tumbadoras. Quinto, Conga, and Tumba set. A couple of years back, I did pay $400.00 a piece for them. Probably these days he is charging more. Beautiful drums!
