I own 5 sets of LP tito puente timbales all generations ,the brass ones are shorter (6 3/8 long),while the stainless steel are taller (6 1/2 long) Can you guys please measure your LP's ?

Thanks.

Have you no confidence in your own measuring skills?

I think he is trying to compare the depth of his Timbales to see whether his are one off items at shorter depth etc.

If I am not mistaken the latest generation of LP Tito Puentes timbales the shells are shorter than previous generations. All previous generations to the current one are with "flairs" in the bottom of the shells and thicker shells. (If I am not mistaken there are three generations of LP Tito Puentes).

The current generation has the LP in a black circle and/or has the crown with Tito Puente's name in a gold badge, flat edges in the bottom of the shell. The previous generation, or the second generation was with flairs in the bottom with the LP insignia standing along, black lettering, silver badge. Previous to that, and the original ones, was the famous green lettering badge made in New Jersey).

I think that is how it goes..

Saludos!

Yes indeed iam talking about DEPTH... I measured all three generation of Tito puentes, and all the brass ones are shorten than stainless steel (depth)....Why?
