Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:00 amI was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between the Pearl Primero and the Primero Pro. It is a distinction I have just recently come across and I am not familiar with. Thanks
Pearl Primero Pro is the same bongo as with the Primero, 7 and 8 1/2, but with the Elite's hardware and I much better heads than the regular Primeros. (Regular Elites come with the 9 inch hembra.
Except the Bobby Allende Signature Elite and the Folkloric Elite that also come in 8 1/2). The Primero Pro has much nicer color and designs than the regular ones.
Don't own one but I know somebody who does and they like it because they are light and project well. The heads still need to be changed if you want a pro sound..... (By the way I own three Pearl bongos, Richie Flores Signature, a Bobby Allende Signature and a Folkloric model).
They are a bargin for the price! I think they are $75 or $80 in the states?????
Saludos!
