About 5 years ago, my sister baught me an old conga at a garage sale. It never sounded too good but was enough to get me hooked on playing. I have since baught 2 LP matador congas and play them daily. I have finally gotten around to pulling off all the hardware and gluing/fixing the old conga that got me started. Does anyone know how I should go about finding replacement parts for it? The hooks on the lugs are almost stripped! Also, the conga is 11", Is there a spacific head that I need to buy? Will the standard LP head work?
I have seen many congas that look like the one that I speak of. Someone once refered to it as a mexican conga. It is skinny and had 4 steel hoops around it. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
