Here is a pic Matthew sent me of my shells. I should have the bongos in my possesion soon.

Sweet! Looks like african mahogany? Beautiful.

Vinnie,

Lucen CRIMINAL y el sonido va ser increible. Wise investment in a pair of bongos that will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment. The only thing is that I noticed you been bitten by the bug, like I have and soon you'll be wanting more and more pairs. You'll be carving next for a pair of Junior Tirados, SOS, JCR's, Ismael's.
Exotic percussion is like a drug. I love your upcoming Matthew's. Enjoy!

Bacanos!!!! what a coisedence I had a talk with Matthew this morning and am planning to visit his workshop soon as he will be hooking up my JCR with hardware. If anyone is interested in needing something from Matthew that is locally around the NJ area let me know. If fact I might be camping at a state park across from his workshop. Most likely I will be doing this by July as he is expecting some bongos to come in.

Dario yes ive been bitten but more than likely this is my last purchase for quite some time. I have more equipment than i need but the main thing i wanted was to have my congas,bongos and timbales. I have a pair of LP's but i wanted a really special bongo and now i'll have them soon. Skin on Skin congas would be nice but they are out of my league right now as far as price but maybe one day I can do it.
