Budget and availability drew me to a purchase of LP Ardiente (Siamese oak) conga and quinto for my intermediate level playing in two weekly groups. Nice, solid base and high end tones that punch through. Accompanying tumba is old (1970's) LP glass with 12 1/2" head I just replaced. Nice marriage. Any Ardiente players out there. Forum pro opinions on the Ardiente's welcome.
