Salvarican,
The $200.00 panderos you are referring to, are yellow? If so, those are a very decent and good priced traditional sizes 8", 10", 12" pandero set. Those are made of PVC by artisan Richard Trinidad from Manatí, Puerto Rico. If you want to go with the higher end check out the ones made by Charlie Vega, Elo Molina, Papo del Valle, but expect to pay at least $150.00 to $200.00 for a single pandero.
Hope this helps!

Yes, i put the link of the yellow ones. Those are the ones that cost $200. Do you think thats a decent set and decent price. In quality, how would you compare them on a conga basis. Would it be like the aspires to the matador or like aspires to the patatos?
Compared to the higher end artisan wood panderos, I would say those rate in the Matador's range. Stay away from those Caribbean Rhythms ones. The company doesn't longer exists, and were made out of very cheap materials in the Dominican Republic.

The ones I have are carved from solid mahogany, yes the hardware is rustic ( handmade) but I got a set of four for $100.00. For the price you will not find anything that sounds better. The yellow drums look nice, but the only difference that I can see is that the lugs are a bit more sturdy on the yellow drum sfrom PR. If those drums are made from PVC, I don't see how thay could compare to solid wood.

Salvarican,
It's up to you my friend! Maybe that deal will work out good for you because you are a drum artisan and will get to fix them with some extra $. By the way thanks for the pics, beautiful barriles! I don't think that they are going for that price because not too many people are into Plena, they are just trying to get rid of them! The same happened with their line of barriles de bomba. It's your call.
