Hey all,
Looking for a quinto crown in good shape for a rebuild project for a client in Santa Cruz, Ca.
12" inside, 5 lug.
Somehow the crown was lost, love to hear if anyone has any laying around.
Thanks,
Tony

You know Tony a 13 " may be a good subsitute. Being the old GB's get too close the shell and kills all resonance-unless they want the old sound. 1" difference is not much-though you would need a skin hoop too. As long as the lugs align into the sideplates good. It may be an option.
But if you're looking for a easy fix, good luck finding a crown that'll work.

Thanks Brother Tonio,
Yea, the 13" should work, but its a restore project for this cat who wants it to look as close to original as possible.
If it was my drum, hell, id just make it a tack head! :laugh:
But i want to restore this one to as close as what it was like.
Thanks for the help!
