Well on a serious note words cannot express what a truly fine craftman Matthew is. I am incredibly pleased much beyond my expectations.

Vinnie,

Thanks for bringing the "Stradivarious" over. Aside from being a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, it has an awesome sound, the choice of skins by Matthew was incredible and it doesn't weigh hardly anything. The hardware is very sturdy. I will venture to say, probably the best bongo made today anywhere. It will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment. Gracias por la jama. You have a beautiful daughter.

Suena tu bongo'.

Dario, Thanks for having us over it was a pleasure and an honor again to be welcomed into your home. I had a great time jamming and learning from you. You make the bongos sing brother. We'll definitely have to get together more often. My daughter had a great time too she really enjoyed the little jam session.

The Stradivarious ? A stringed instrument as a Violin made in the workshop of Antonio Stradivari. Give me some of that smoke. :lol:
