I went to a local Timba dealer to check out a Conga and Tumba that they had in stock. Nearby was a pair of Gon Bops in a cherry finish. They were a Quinto and a Conga. The Timbas were awesome, but I could not keep my hands off of the Gon Bops. They literally played themselves. I got effortless volume out of them and the tone reached out and grabbed you. He wants $1500 for the pair. Is this fair market value? He wants $1400 for the Timbas. I cannot get my mind off of those Gon Bops, but I just can't swing the money (wife, 3 daughters in private school, bills, house payment...whine, whine, snivel, snivel!) It's obvious that the Timbas run along the same design as the Gon Bops. I am thoroughly impressed.
