Hi everyone
I want to buy a set of congas (second hand) and the ones I found are from the brand FP from finland.
Anyone knows that make?
I played on them and they do sound great!
I seem to have a goo deal
a quinto LP Patato a conga FP and a tumba FP for 250 euros.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

Akdom!
Nice price for Patatos but i'm not familiar with FP percussion instruments, sorry!

I played a set of them a few years ago in Finland (!!) at a festival.
The organisers offered me some CPs to use - I wasn't impressed with that - and one of the sound crew added, "I have some nicer congas at home, I'll go get them if you like". They were FP drums. Very similar in build to LP's fibreglass drums - shape similar to Patatos.
IIRC, the drums had great projection, but can't remember too much about the overall sound as we had a pretty big rider to work our way through (and a very drunken aftershow party). :laugh:

Thanks for your comments
YES!! great price for a set including a LP patato quinto !!
The FP conga and tumba DO look like the Patato serie for sure.
They sound just great! I am very happy, even if I'd have prefered wood bodies, but for that price....
I'll post a few pics as soon as I finish to fix them up (need some hooks).
