Therefore I want to get another conga to serve as my quinto, so that I can retire my existing quinto or use it to my left in a four-drum set. What make of conga will do well when tuned high, and give me those nuances of sound that some peope say can only be gotten from the quinto size? Is is fair to say something like 'model X will strech beautifully and handle high-tuning whereas model Y will suffer adversely?'

you can use an 11 inch conga head for a quinto

What is the definition of a quinto? Is it only a relative thing - i.e. the smaller central drum in, say, a two or three-drum set-up, whatever inch diameter that might entail?
