I'm pretty sure that bongo once belonged to a former member of this forum. If it is the same one, he offered it for sale a few years ago for $900. The same bongo without that paint job would probably sell for around $400.

What is it worth???????

Most Jcr I have seen are on natural color although once around middle of last decade they were offered in various colors. Any way I would not pay that amount ever but maybe a collector do. To them those bongos are atractive.

It is the same bongo. That bongo was featured on the album Determination
by La Sonora Poncena.
