Is possible I might be selling this Junior Tirado conga along with a set of two later on. Presently I have 7 Junior congas and I'll be keeping 4.
This particular one I picked in Junior's workshop in Brooklyn about 10 yrs. ago. Someone left it to be refurbished and never picked it up. Junior
made new reinforced chromed sideplates for it and refinished the shell with marine varnish. I put a new Venezuelan skin on it. Its an early 70's (73 or 74). Caribbean mahogany and its sound is second to none. Playing surface is 11 1/2". Excellent for playing tumbao (marcha), also awesome quinto sound for rumba, guaguanco. I'm giving forum members priority, but eventually will go on Ebay,however, there is no hurry as money is not the object. I just feel I must reduce my Junior arsenal. Pa' que la jeva no joda tanto.

The late Natalio Junior Tirado:

Down the road I might be letting this set go. Is a 11 3/4" and 13". Junior made this set for me in Nov. 1999. I keep all my congas in excellent condition and with new heads. Once again forum members I'll give heads up, evantually Ebay, but there is no hurry.

Saludando a los rumberos!

Might need to add that Junior to my 4 Matthew Smiths...
Vaya acere, send me a PM con los detalles!

Also very interested !If ABAKUA passes of course.By the way ,.Abakua,I also have Matt making me drums.One 11 1/4 and a 14 1/2 cajon.Almost forgot, Jay of Skin on Skin is very much active and lives some 60 miles from me (Central New York State)I just finished talking to him the other day and is working daily!

Guys,

I'll let it go for $650. Junior was the pioneer who inspired Jay and Matthew. Jay and Matt make awesome congas, I also have sets from both. I think is a good price for a Stradivarious and you would not have to wait. A Junior Tirado blends perfectly with a Ritmo and/or a Skin on Skin.

PS. Enclosed; Junior with his congas.

Is it possible that we can see pictures of the inside of the drums.
Can you please take some detail pictures, like the alma, and the rest of the inside of the congas.

Thanks
