MANNYT,
HAS HAD HIS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, AND I'M SURE HE'S A VERY PROUD OWNER.
CHARLIE.

Charlie,
You're absolutely right! I feel very blessed and proud to own a pair of Gon Bops CA bongos. I can't ask for anything more in terms of sound and it's a real beauty to look at! Yes, I've had them for almost 3 years now. I bought them, thanks to your very positive recommendation. I haven't forgotten that and I still greatly appreciate it!
I'd love to have a pair of those gorgeous Matthew Smith bongos, too, like yours, or a pair of SOS, like vinnieL's! But, for now, I don't feel any need for either one as I don't play bongo parts that much--yet. But, you can almost be sure that, if and when I do feel the need, they'll be either one of the two. Or, even both!
All the best bro,
