Conrad is a very nice guy I met him in Philly when he was taking over a gig for me, I lost contact with him but seemed to be a great person.

He made a bongo cajon for me. Very fast, great work, great service & communication. I recommend him.

Ah yes, Adonis & Michel with Luis Asprina. Here's the vid that started it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqkg7FasvQg Using the same tumbadoras, Adonis uses cow & bull skins for the heads. They sound great.

PC,

Are you saying the tumbadoras used in the video by the young Cubans are the spiritinthewood congas? They look different to me. The hardware looks different... a crown on the Cubans drums, on the hardware and also as a logo/sticker thing. I posted the question of who made those congas on one of their videos a while back and the response by the videographer/documentary maker was 'production in cuba'. The spiritinthewood tubs are made in USA... Pennsylvania.

The congas in the video are made by "Los Chinitos", in a suburb of La Habana. They make solid wood instruments, tumbadoras, batas.....
