Wow! Beauty!

I moved away 30 years ago but I'm really a New Yorker. Maybe I need one too?

I just saw these, very nice!
I had toyed with the same idea for making a second pair of bongos a while back.
My inspiration was the pattern and colors of the coat of the actual Animal that's known as a Bongo, a kind of Antelope I believe.
I wonder if that was his inspiration as well? Those bearing edges look similar to those on my Bongos.
The pair in the back look to have a slight conicle shape...Would be nice to see them complete with skins.
