Brothers,
Anyone have any ideas on the Live Sound range of Meinl congas, when they were made what is the modern equivalent from Meinl.
They are wooden bodied and have trad rims.
Any info appreciated
Suave

Hello Buck...I had two of the Meinl Live Sound Series Fiberglass drums. One was a 10" quinto that would scream like a Banshee, and the other was a 13" Tumba that sounded nice and boomy especially with a "Fat Congas" skin I put on it. I researched a little bit on the sizes and found that the Fiberglass series only came in 10,11,12,and 13" sizes. If this is true for the wood series than I am guessing that yours might be considered a 12"? . Anyway, your drum really looks nice in the picture. Happy drumming.

I forgot to mention that I considered my drums to be a "High End" set from Meinl. They were built like tanks and I am guessing that they were at least 10 years old.
