These are 1968 Junior Tirados that I bought, destroyed to hell but still Juniors (Honduran mahogany). This is how Matthew got them

End result of Extreme Makeover, after spending close to a year in Matthew Smith's Spa & Rehabilitation Center.These old Juniors never looked better and sound better than any new conga. You have to realize the Honduran mahogany on these babes is 40 yrs. old (aged and cured).
Matthew Smith making miracles, the surgeon with the golden arm !
Que no se pare la rumba ! Dario :D
