FOR SALE 1950's VALJE Ashiko/Conga Made in old growth FIR

Postby blackflag » Mon Aug 25, 2008 11:09 pm

This was one of Tom Flores early experimental drums done in old growth Douglas Fir. You can't find old growth fir anymore but if you could, it'd be very expensive. The hardware was all hand cut individually so no two lugs are the same. More pics, as well as an article by the Conga Dr (Tony) about this drum visit; http://congadr.blogspot.com/search?q=valje and scroll down 'till you see it. I have refinished the shell, repaired a few cracks etc. and it is gorgeous!! $325- Please call Chris at 308-530-6902

You can still make out the original logo on the leg. Drum is incredibly basey and I shouldn't need to go into the rarity of a drum like this.
