MY PIERNAS

Postby juancho » Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:19 am

Well.....here's my latest acquisition. I heard somewhere that olive oil is good for the skins so I used a little and brought some color back. Felt comfortable and did not feel it heavy as others.

That is a nice color design and yes the new ones are not as heavy. I bought mine from Naty and they were very responsible on warranty as when one of the lugs became defective they replaced and even paid for the shipping. One thing I did was cut the lugs, they were too long for my taste.

Saludos Caballo, Coño that set looks better and better each time you post a picture of them. Once Naty & Adolpho got the shipping logistics right they've been very good at making many bongoceros happy with their new line of lighter bongos. I took them up on a set myself. I have a an exact pair like these included in my inventory of bongo sets. Very happy with the sound and how well they're built. Can't beat the deal with the pricing, you get enough equipment to start gigging right away with that $250 price tag. If anyone is on the fence for a set of these don't wait too long, things tend to go up in price as the years roll along. Peace y Felicidades y Saludos a todos.

Adolpho sent me the metal placards to mount just have to find the right screws to finish the look of the drums.

I'm also interested in one. I would also like an original Valje and Sol Percussion.

For those of you wishing to order from Naty and Adolpho Rocha just Google their website HR EL Piernas, they have a contact phone there. Ralph Flores, Tom's son (Rest in Peace Tom), took over his father's Valje company now called Resolution Drums or Percussion. Also on the web. Good luck in your pursuits to obtain these fine drums. Peace Jorge.
