Collectable Cuban Drum on Ebay

Postby docarroyo » Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:41 pm

Hello gentelmen I thought I would let you all know of a nice drum I found on ebay its Item number 320351981581, Titled Folk art Painted Conga Havana Cuba Drum. These are the type used during carnival in Santiago and other Cuban provences in the old days, much lighter than a conga heated over flame they actually sound pretty good great bass tones. Much easier to play while walking and dancing during the paranda or parade. I already own one or I would go for it myself. The painting on it is very Tipico and its style is like that found on old cigar boxes from Cuba with a Bohio and Finca. It would be great if not to play to display. All it really needs is a skin and a little glue nothing major I would replace the head with Chibo (Chivo/Goat) on the thicker side like that used on djembes.
