I am about to buy a / pair of congas. I essentially have 趚 - 跾 to spend right now. What to buy? One higher quality single conga or a beginner's pair of 10/11" heads. I have a hunch from what people have written that I will probably be further a head if I only buy one conga (11 3/4") rather than a beginner set of a pair (10/11"). Do you agree? Is the 10" (requinto?) really something of a problem for beginners? As I wrote before, I have a little 8 1/2 ' conga that I've been banging on for 3 years (and I do get a popping slap on it as well as a tone - but its got no bass). And I have been playing djembe for about one year.
Any suggestions (again!) from experienced congueros would be sincerely appreciated. Please excuse that I posted a very similar message last week but now the old forum is gone.
Thank You Very Much, Eric
