WTB: Older LP Tito Puente Brass Timbales 14/15

Postby PRDRconguero » Sat May 18, 2013 2:35 pm

Hey all,

I'm looking for a set of older LP Tito Puente Brass Timbs in 14/15 for a reasonable price. These will be my main playing set so they have to be in decent to excellent shape. Looking for either green or the very early gold badge that still had heavy shells. If you have any other comparable brass drums in the same affordable price range, please let me know. Thanks!

PS: I'm just north of the NYC metro area if meeting in person is an option.

Mods: I believe this is the correct section for this post but if it needs to go to the For Sale section, that is fine.

These are too expensive for me but Im not sure what you are willing to pay, this set is in Los Angeles.
Check them out.
Good luck.

Those are from way back, the center block is wood.
The price is a on the high side, at least for me.
I think PRDRconguero is looking for brass and
those on LA appear to be stainless steel.

Thanks guys but I bought a great set from a forum member.

Yes, I was looking for brass but thanks. Regarding that ebay auction, I contacted him when it first listed but he was looking for something above my price range. They were beautiful so kudos if anyone here got them.

Thanks everyone, especially to the member I dealt with personally. Thanks again!
