Towards the end of their tenure in the 90's, Gon Bops started being more aggressive with 6 lugs congas (they never had 6 lugs congas until the end) and with almas, which these have. I think this is a real nice trio, certainly look stronger than Gon Bops from the 70's, which I had a few. I know towards the end, when they came up with the Poncho Sanchez model, they did improve their designs, trying to compete with the emergence of Skin on Skin and Junior, which were becoming appealing to the serious congueros.
