I'M ASKING BECAUSE OF THE CENTER BLOCK. IS IT ORIGINAL OR WAS IT CHANGED?
NO OTHER ID TAGS OR MARKS ON THE BONGO.
THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS.
That's a very good question there? Personally I have no idea,
perhaps other forum members can identify this bongo for
you. The hardware at least is consistent with other bongos
I have seen advertised as Sonoc. That's looks like an undersized
bongo by today standards, which is a good thing if you ask me.
I have never been too impressed with Sonoc bongos hardware
and craftsmanship. The center block needs help way too big
for the bongo, it may be one of those stock replacement LP
center blocks you can order. Very basic and crude bongo set
unless it has some verifiable historical value I would not pay
more than $25.00 but that just me.
