I think that one came later on probably like in the 70's,
the shape of that conga kind of resembles an original
LP conga from the 70's. The conga drums back in the
days before LP for the most part were slim. You see
old pictures of the great players you see their
congas are slim. Like so many things here in USA
congas got bigger and bigger. I would not be surprised
if LP congas influenced that Timbas Ismael on that
picture since LP congas were really a big deal in
Puerto Rico in the 70's.
By the way the drum went for $490.00.
