This set belonged to the bongocero of Manolito y Su Trabuco (Cuban group), they came to Miami did a TV show and a couple of gigs in a Calle Ocho club. I traded an LP 35th Anniversary fiberglass for this one, as he wanted a fiberglass LP. I don't know if its Cuban, as that group travels abroad. The wood is beautiful and is a big size 7" macho, 8 1/2" hembra. Cuban hardware, crowns and Cuban bottoms. Very well made bongos. Awesome sound. I will let it go for $350.
