Nice videos. I appreciate the one about JCR. Nice to see Cali.
BTW, I'm the happy (and lucky) owner of a JCR bongó.

Nice set Chtimulato!! I’ve been looking for a set of his bongos for a while. I should’ve bought one when I had the chance at his shop. If you ever think of letting it loose, let me know. The videos are awesome!

You'll be the first on the list if I ever consider selling, Juaort. But you'll have to be patient. :)
But I remind you I live in France, so shipping will be rather expensive.
And maybe you will also have to pay some taxes or custom duties. Unless maybe if I declare it as a birthday gift or something like that, I don't know how it works between France and the USA.

No worries. Thanks for considering me. We can cross the shipping and customs bridge when the time comes. BTW how are things in France as well as yourself and your family?

Everything is reopening here, little by little, except for bars and restaurants so far... Most people still wear masks, because you never can tell. I and my family do, at any case. But I'm still teleworking for a while.
Thanks for asking.
Stay safe, all of you.

This below is the LP cowbell brochure, it has more detailed information on LP cowbells than the general catalogue.

Great resource Beatnik07! I’m Currently looking at an LP ES-15 Bongo Bell. I’m also looking to order a Pete Lugo Bell, he worked with Cali Rivera for years in the Bronx.

Pete Lugo's bell should be a great choice in my eyes. Though I never saw his work "in real life".

Juaort, there are other options along with the Pete Lugo, check Osiris and Ulipercussion Bells.

Ulipercussion Bells are handmade and very very comfortable on the hand.

This artisan bell maker is in Colombia.
Interestingly they use TIG welding (I was under the impression that cowbells were MIG welded). Not that it really matters :)
