THAT'S TOTAL NONSENSE.
I STAND BEHIND MY WORDS 100%
THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD THAT THOSE DRUMS ARE WORTH $600.00.YES, IF YOU WANT TO BECOME RICH OFF OF SOMEONE'S IGNORANCE, DON'T DO IT ON THIS BOARD. BECAUSE, WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS HERE, AND WE'LL ADVISE EACH OTHER, AND SHARE INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER, SO THAT WE CAN ALL DO AS WELL AS WE CAN, AND BE HAPPY AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH YEARS.
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR BULL HERE, YOU SHOULD JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR EBAY SALES, AND MAYBE EVEN TRY TO PRICE YOUR ITEMS FAIRLY, AND BE ACCURATE WITH YOUR INFORMATION. ALSO TRY NOT TO SOUND SO ARROGANT IN YOUR ITEM DETAILS. BECAUSE, CUSTOMERS WILL AVOID YOU LIKE THE PLAGUE, BE NICE.
PS: THE ZEBRAWOOD LP BONGOS ARE A SPECIAL COLLECTORS ITEM !
THAT WAS A GREAT PURCHASE!!! .

Saludos Señor 'Reydeltimbale', Re: who is or isn't a "professional" musician... speaking only for myself, I must say that I may or may not want the internal Revenue Service to know what music equipment (bongoes, tumbas, skins, lugs, lug lube, case's etc.) I may choose to buy, which is why I (or many other "Professional" drummers/musicians) don't "write off/deduct" every single "instrument" purchase when filing a tax return... this does not mean I (or anyone else) is not a "Professional" drummer/musico.
Re: Paying "Ralphy Flores, Hector Roche El PIernas $500.00 (+ shipping) to make a brand new pair of Zebra wood's", when I can pay (and I did with no shipping charge) $455.00 for a pair of "original early Zebra wood Lp's", is preferred by me, because I now own a true "vintage/collectors" instrument, as they are not made (by Lp) anymore and haven't been for many years.
If I had a pair Zebra's "made today, tomorrow or last week"... they would not be considered "vintage/collectors" Lp drums.
Re: "Dario's info is wrong".... I don't know what reason 'Martin Cohen' would have possibly had to "misinform" Dario in his interview with Martin Cohen.
Re: "The people that go after SoS that a copy of Juniors Bongos"... 'Skin On Skin' bongoes are not "copies" of Natalio "Junior" Tirado's" drums. Truth be told que both "Juniors" as well as 'Jay's' S.O.S.'s are modeled after/influenced by using the rich heritage and style of the late Cuban drum maker 'Gonzalo Vergara'.
Re: "Junior ,SOS are still being made not a collector Item to command that price"... "Juniors" drums are most definitely "collectors" instruments, as everyone know's.. 'Natalio "Junior" Tirado' died (R.I.P.) and those drums are no longer made. In fact, every drummer that own's them, hangs on to them like gold and will never sell them (unless out of desperation).
I was invited to play (along with several other "Professional" drummers) at 'Natalio "Junior" Tirado's' wake, in front of his open casket. I was very humbled to be invited to do that and I did.
I, as well as my late Father have known both 'Jay Bereck' and 'Natalio "Junior" Tirado' since they both started making fine hand made drums for many years.
Re: "I worked in a very and I say very popular store for musician's from 1968-1987 we sold over a 100 sets of that bongos the year they came out".... perhaps the pair I bought for $455.00 on Ebay three weeks ago were the "one pair in that 100".
I have not implied that there is anything "wrong" with the pair you just sold on Ebay for $600.00.
What I said is, they are "good looking" and that in "my personal opinion"... I would not spend that amount of money on drums that have non-chromed hardware and lugs, or are made from parts from different makers.
(wasn't there a famous movie made in 1931 about a body made from different body parts?)
Lastly, the cost ($$$) of anything is all relative to someones individual taste and/or monetary situation/s.
