I DON'T GET IT. WHAT'S IN A NAME?

[pcastag]

Well since the title is what's in a name, apparently about 180 plus shipping!

It is not the wood, the age or the custom Bongo. Is the hands, skill and player technique that made the instrument sound.

[Omelenko1]

Big difference between an Aspire and a Matthew Smith. Skill and ability is a given.

I agree with Omelenko1 as far as skill and ability being a given. There was a thread not too long ago called "Street Warriors Bongos" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8151#p76457
there were only two people that posted their bongos of choice to take to the outdoors and maybe we should show or tell what bongos we own that we would like to have in the event that we were going to play somewhere and wanted our most trustworthy bongos, the ones we would feel best with for the sound and reliability because sometimes these top grade bongos stay home on the shelf nice and shiny, un blemished.

Usually I take all mine out but depending where is the gig. Also a log is kept for last one out and which is next. For example last weekend Conjunto Akangana played at a baseball park so I took my old Afro which is 7 x 9 & project very good.

found this one today..amazing shot..with Eartha getting down ..and James Dean 'mesmerized' by her...(chek his bongos)..

[Thebreeze]

That is one cool picture Johnny. He really does look Mezmorized by her.
caballoballo.....You keep a log on last one out and which is next? Now that is someone who takes his bongos serious enough to make sure that they all get played. I really like that. I have never heard someone doing that before. Cool!!

[caballoballo]

Yeah Breeze, by having the log none of them are over use. Also skins will last forever. The only ones use more but switch are the Lp & Matador which are play on Sundays at church.
