OK. My oldest conga, a great mahogany tack-head from the 40's, next to a GB quinto from the 70's. Also, a historical photo with what may be the same drum. If anyone knows more please let me know.

Hey Pshy1,

That's Machito's late great timbalero Ubaldo "Uba" Nieto. Where did you get your conga from?

Hi Dario, I got the tack-head from Tony Stern, I don't know where he go it from but he said he had never seen another one like it. The picture of Ubaldo Nieto I got from the Morales/Adler book. I don't know if it is the same drum but it looks similar.
