Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2004 3:32 pmWell, after much thinking, I bought a 3 set of Patato Fiberglass congas (2 congas, and one quinto) from Ebay at $650.00. What a price, huh? I'm only worried that I won't be able to get a nice low tone on one of the Congas, if I tune it low (to substitute for the Tumbadora). Whatever, if I can't get the sound, I'll find a Patato Tumba down the line.
I won't be needing my set of quinto, conga, and Tumba of LP Wood Classic, which were recently hand-picked by Giovanni Hidalgo for a gig I did with him here at the University of Massachusetts. So, you know they got to be good. The only thing is that the Conga has a broken head (so you will have to replace it). The quinto has an Evans Tri-head Skin, and the Tumba has a natural skin with a nice low tone.
I'm selling my wood set at $850.00 for the set of 3 them. If anyone is interested, please email me at rgb@polsci.umass.edu
