Yes. A good one, not a charlatan. Edgardo Cambón is a good one. Johnny Conga (also a forum member here) too. They give lessons online. There are several others.is it absolutely necessary for me to have an instructor?
Tell us where you live, maybe we can help you further.I don't really see any in the local area where I live
Juaort's answer makes sense, don't "scatter", at least at the beginning. On another hand, knowing how bongó works can help you to understand how congas work.is it too much to also take up Bongos while I'm learning to play conga?
Because of the narrower bottom, Patatos are not stable and have to be played with stands. Patato Valdés often played standing and using stands, you now know why.LP Classic vs Patato vs LP Salsa (used pair)?
I suggest you to learn playing with the original skins, though I don't like them. Once you can get a good sound out of them, maybe you can consider changing and putting better skins on. It's like learning driving or photography : would your first car be a Mercedes or a Rolls Royce? Would your first camera be a Canon EOS? You won't be able to appreciate and enjoy quality if you begin with too good quality tools. IMHO.if I buy a new would it help the sound of a new player to have upgraded skins such as Manito?
