Have you considered Spirit In The Wood congas? They are some of the best sounding drums, they are solid shell (made from a log), they do not split and they are about the same price as the other drums you mentioned.

why? are you selling? The wait time for someone to build congas is too long.The world might end before then ,and I have to play.

Bueno Papa! If immediacy is what you're after.....

A friend of mine is selling his Gon Bops, one 12.50", and two 13.25"

check out the post I placed here for him....

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7969

just putting it out there, not many who own the botique drums you mentioned are going to sell at a cheap, or even reasonable price. Although brother Jaisen has a Matt quinto for sale, look him up!

Suave!

thanks for the offer onile
In this lifetime I have already owned and played gon Bops back in the 80's .took a trip on concord as a courier to come to New York to buy them out of a pawn shop in the bronx(dedicated then as I am now).so I will decline the offer thank you. We are apparently here on earth to experience all, .... misery,hardship,loss,illness,pain LOVE PASSION
JOY .over the last year I have experienced too much of the first experiences and so I would like to readdress the balance.playing new (new to me) congas from beautiful artisan drum makers floats my boat, gives me the experience of the last 3 in big letters.I always say to my wife ,us guys are simpler to please! :oops:

so someone out there make me happy, let me give you money for beautiful hand made congas, that might be just sitting in a corner being looked at, and I will put some more more :lol: :P :roll: :!: :D :D :lol: :? :o :D :D :D :D
back in to the ether . :P

Alafia Abure Salzfaas!
I hope that you are well and abundantly blessed!

I totally agree with your philosophy on life, and since you are already in the great state, I encourage you to contact Jaisen. He's always got a great selection of handmade drums and sells many of them too!

here's a post where he put his phone # on:
Good luck!

Blessings to you too Onile.I have spoken too Jaisen, but he has nothing to sell at this moment in time ,I missed some matts as I live in uk not Usa but the search is on.I always think if you put it out there something will happen......and I got a nice message from you!
