Rumberos, anybody has any information about TB Bongó, how to contact the manufacturer, ect, ect, they are made in Barranquilla Colombia. Some Bongoceros down here are using them,good,good sound,solid wood. Another alternative. The other Colombian Bongó around is the 3A, the problem is, the shell wood is not too thick and it tends to loose the shape so until the manufacturer correct that failure they are kind of not reliable. Glad I did not buy one. Talking about other stuff,finally I found a JCR bell with my sound taste, a friend went to N.Y last week a brought me one in accordance with the sound I told him, it is a mediun low type. Now the set is complete,1 mediun pitch,1 medium low. not too high,not too low.

Saludos, Caballoballo! Personnally I can't help you much, but I've seen a couple of guys in the Yahoo Bongogroup who have TBs (and have posted pictures)... maybe you could try there, should get a response on where to buy.
Cuidate!

Julio,yes,there is a store In Bayamon City who has some but the problem I saw was that the shell is too thin and was out of shape,also the bottoms were Cuban style while the ones I have seen have the cast bottoms. If you look in The bongo group web page,they have photos of the Tb with the cast bottoms.
