hello guys,

does anybody has got an idea of the origin of my bongo?
i received it ,as a present,in cuba ten years ago from my friend raul'lali'gonzales (one of the first members of "clave y guaguanco").
he told me that it was very old.

greetings.

apologize for my bad english cause i'm french...

another picture.



i've change the lugs and i've made covering new all the metal parts.

They look like early SONOCS, made in the Fernanado Ortiz factory at Calzada Del Cerro, the neighborhood in La Habana where I was born. They look to be from the late 70's and must sound real good. I can tell they are SONOCS from the hardware. The look very "criollo" (authentically Cuban). Nice treasure!

thank you!they sound good but i consider the hembra a little bit smole for me.
anyway it's a very nice object.

to keep preciously.
