Hey, I don't think I would recomend the Giovanni compact conga for a beginer. I can understand about not having a lot of space or money however it is worth it to get a good middle of the line conga, like Johnny Conga was saying. You can get a good matador on ebay at a good price. Learn how to play on a real wood conga so you can hold it right, feel it, and really get the experience of playing a conga. I have nothing against the Giovanni compact conga, I played one in the store and it sounded good except for no bass tone. If I was a beginner I would get a good wood conga and start from there. Get yourself the real thing!
