Alright, last night was road test for the Black Widower 3A Percussion Bongó. I had a rehearsal and he was out to the test. First when I took it out of the case the Conga player almost pass out from the impression of the chrome & the ebony black. Then after some tunning I was ready to slap it left and right. This Bongó is very easy to get a sharp slap and the Hembra has a nice deep melow sound,old, old school sound. So we startet playing some themes and even with my musician ear plugs I could feel the power and how this beauty cut thru the band. Then we switch so the Conguero could have a taste, It is always good to have somebody else with a different technique to play your instrument, there you can appreciate the sound quality specially the Martillo tone . That taki taki toc is very important to be of a solid sound in a salsa band during the Montuno and Piano solos. 3A is not expensive at all $250, superior quality on everything, strong construction , top of the line cow skins , 3/8 " lugs, Flor Morado Wood, ect ,ect .Thus far it has 5 stars, let see as time goes by and aging takes place. Next is Saturday night gig at Latin Roots Café.
