thickness of flesh ring (mm)
Posted: Wed May 22, 2013 7:23 pm
Hi there congueros and gongueras. I a newbie in this world of playing conga.
I recently bought some conga’s and I am have started to play a bit. In a future topic I will show them.
Last week I came back from a trip to brazil where I was a participant in several Umbanda rituals where atabaques where played.
I was given the opportunity to play in the rituals and of course I did !!
I also had some lessons in the basics of Afro Brazilian playing style in umbanda.
I brought a beautiful atabaque back home. It looks great but I did not like the sound. I will re-skin it because the skin was just to thin.
I looked around the forum and I see there is a lot of knowledge and I am looking for some help.
I have searched for an answer to my question and I found similar subjects but not the answer I am looking for.
There is somebody who can make me some extra flesh rings for my conga’s. For this I need to give him a thickness of the steel
The problem is I cant measure the thickness of the steel of my rings because the skin is around it.
What is the average thickness of steel on a flesh ring (hoop) ?
See you around, Godskin
