Today I bought a old Meinl "live sound" conga.
One with the tag "made in Germany".
I bought it very cheap with a standard for it.
It will be a present for a girlfriend who wants to learn how to play conga but only has a djembe.
So I decided to surprise her with this conga and give it to her coming monday.
I cleaned the skin, quite old but looks a lot nicer now.
Cleaned the hard ware with tin paper.
This conga has a semi split. only visible from the outside. ( I knew this when I bought it).
It seems the "split" is right where you want to have it if you have one.
It doessent effect the sound it seems, its not fully split !
What to do ?
What would you do ?
Leave it the way it is ?
brake the split open and glue it strap it?
Or try to open the semi split carefuly not making it a full split en squeeze some glue in strap it
