i'm an experienced woodworker and KNOW i can build a set of congas. the reason i want to build them is that i don't have enough money to buy them and i have cheap access to large amounts of wood.
i know they're stave drums but i need to know: how many staves, what size for the staves, what angles to cut, do i need to steam bend the staves and what hardware/heads should i use. i want to build a 10" quinto, 11" conga, and 12" tumba.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
