I don't know what it is but I like the hardware. Nice.

I would guess that the "zig zags" are meant to create more surface area between the staves for the glue to bond too. A valid technique, is somewhat labor intensive. Cool drum.

Thanks skinslapper ! I have never heard about that brand.
Bongo, you're right : it's super solid. I'm curious about the technique for this result !!

Most of the details …
skin
crown
lugs
wood (beech)
leather handhold
... point to a Sonor conga made in Germany later than 1982 and maybe before 1985.

Those are definitely Teo-Dor Manilas. Back in the 60's to 70's there was a drum maker in the Philippines called Totoy Boogie. My dad had him make a small conga for me when I was 8 yrs. old. I had 4 of Totoy Boogie's congas when I left the Philippines in '78 and they were solid.

Sorry I don't have any pictures at all. That was a very long time ago. I wish I still had that drum.
