Four in the family - happy camping

Postby Mike » Fri Jul 02, 2010 5:00 am

Now it is the four of them, all Californian congas,
the 10.75" IC 3000 and 12.25" ITL 3000 on the right side
being the latest aquisitions. They have been well-used since the late 1980s, but fine.
I could mend the out-of-round 10.75" easily.

They mingle perfectly, the 10.75" ist incredible with the new L&H skin.

My older 11+12" Gon Bops are just like good parents, I love those mahogony/lauan shells.

Thanks Marco, no I have decided to leave the shells as they are for the time being.
I do not like the hassle with the bands and all. The 3000 pair has got the rustic rumba look 8)
