looking for a crown for 10.5 gonbops - LP, Meinl, Toca, five lug will all work

[blango]

Hey all,

Looking for a quinto crown in good shape for a rebuild project for a client in Santa Cruz, Ca.

12" inside, 5 lug.

Somehow the crown was lost, love to hear if anyone has any laying around.

Thanks,

Tony

You know Tony a 13 " may be a good subsitute. Being the old GB's get too close the shell and kills all resonance-unless they want the old sound. 1" difference is not much-though you would need a skin hoop too. As long as the lugs align into the sideplates good. It may be an option.
But if you're looking for a easy fix, good luck finding a crown that'll work.

Thanks Brother Tonio,

Yea, the 13" should work, but its a restore project for this cat who wants it to look as close to original as possible.

If it was my drum, hell, id just make it a tack head! :laugh:

But i want to restore this one to as close as what it was like.

Thanks for the help!
