What is the size of your largest matching set of congas (Same manufacturer, similar model, shape, color, etc.)

Traditionally, there were more or less 3 sizes of congas, now we have requinto's, super requintos, super tumbas.

Also the number of drums people play has increased.

So what is the size of your largest matching set.

...and post pictures if you got them :;):

Here's my set. They didn't come as a set, but they are all fiberglass, from LP and all made during the Palisades Park period of LP. I guess they also have matching skins sourced from blango.

I have 2 sets of 3 Gon Bops. Requinto, conga, conga in oak and requinto , conga, super tumba in mohogany. I'm not sure of the dates(anyone know how to read the serial #'s) and 2 of the Mohogany badges were unreadable when I got them (I have since refinished them and left them off completely). I'll try to post some more pics soon( must resize them).

Quinto, conga and tumba shell from Drumskulls with stainless steel hardware from Moperc that I mounted myself. Headed with African cow. If I can include bougarabous I also have 3 from Drumskulls.

That's the most well matched set of mismatched congas I've seen.

You are so right, BnB :laugh:
Sound is what matters. I don´t give a .... on the difference in look. Believe it or not, their sounds fit together perfectly! (with the Gio quinto with mule skin being outstanding)

Note: If I am ever to buy another, new or used, set of congas I will probably go for matching matches :;):

Happy drummin´
