ERES UN CRIMINAL!!!!

I had no idea these were yours! When were these SOS made?



Tell me you have not sold them.... And if so...

What would it take to tempt you into selling?

Didn't he sell those to Will (thebreeze) here in California?

Those SOS were made in 1992. Yes, I traded them and 3 Gon Bops batas some years back for my original Junior Tirado congas. The Juniors I had sold to a guy in San Francisco, at the time I had over 10 Juniors, but I couldn't get over letting them go. Junior had made that set for me in 1999. So I got them back, had to sacrife my best bongo' at the time and a complete set of batas. Photo of the Juniors I recovered.

PS. Before the oak SOS on the photos I had a set made out of black walnut by Jay. The walnut wood have been some left over from a set of batas he had made for Milton Cardona of Gene Golden, I forget who of the two. I sold the walnut set to someone in this forum, I forget who. They were also incredible. I found a photo.

Marcelo,

The Cuban ones you're getting sound as good or better than those SOS. These Cubans might not be as appealing to the eye as the SOS ( had an artist make the black and red lines), but when it comes to sound projection, estos Cubiches tienen un sonido de pin..! I have to get back to you with shipping info. I have been real busy at work. I'll email you in a couple of days.
Photos of the killer Guantanameros!
