Vintage Mahogany Gon Bops Conga + Tumba 70's
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 11:01 pmBefore I put them on E-Bay I thought I would give folks who know and appreciate drums a first crack. $900 Vintage Gon Bops Mahogany 11in (Tumba) 10 1/8 in (Conga) 70’s
These beauties are still in round due to the effort some past owner went to in placing an iron ring inside each drum (Áro in Spanish) after market. I have owned them for 15 years and bought them used. New heads about 6 months ago. Some scratches from use as you can see from the photos. They are as light as a feather and make perfect Rumba drums. They sound amazing and have a unique character all their own. Sorry to have to part with them.
