I just happened to have bought such an old skool vintage CP as a beater requinto,
a red 10" one. Hmm, perhaps such a new skin would be nice
P.S.: PM sent, Jaisen ...

You was on point they built like tanks & the both of these machos are screamers !!!!
High & dry all day ...
Jaisen, were all CPs with these badges made in Palisade Park, or were some CP drums with these badges made elsewhere? My requinto and quinto have these badges.

I tend to believe they were not produced in Cohen´s Palisades Park times
in Thailand, but only later.
Anyone to unravel the mystery of CP history?
Psych1 wrote:I'd like to know also. As far as I know, except for maybe some prototypes, LP never made any wood congas in the US. Everything that says "Garfield, New Jersey" was made in Thailand. When LP moved production overseas all wood congas were first made of rubber plywood. Then came a few AP/Valje cherrywood and later oak & ash Gios and some beech bongos.

the original skin on! It´s really incredible how well this CP conga plays
