Hi to all musicians,
your valued expertise is in demand. I would have the opportunity Congas in
Ash, cherry, oak, cedar or walnut wood
to have made. Which wood would you recommend and why? Are there any differences in the sound of different types of wood or is only the shell shape and processing relevant here? What about durability or sensitivity (soft or hardwood, other benefits or weaknesses)? Maybe you can also justify why you give a recommendation, from own gaming experience, information about third parties, expertise, etc.?
Here is some information from the manufacturer regarding the sound characteristics of different woods:
Ash; More power, low mids, large tone, sustain, crispy slaps
Cherry; Nice sound, a bit softer, precise tone, crispy slaps
Oak; Soft sound, more focused tone
Cedar and Walnut; work in progress, no drum have been completed yet
Questions about questions ...
Many thanks to all who expand my knowledge horizon!
