King Conga 11.5 - $500 (Laguna Beach)

QR Code Link to This Post

King Conga 11.5" diameter head, 30" tall with LP hardware. Get the best of both brands...the best sounding fiberglass conga ever made with the best, most reliable hardware. I recently mounted a new natural rawhide head and it sounds awesome. It has a resonant open tone and crisp slap with very little ring to it. When I played it with my friend, it made his LP original conga sound dead. In sparkling deep purple. Only $500 for this rare gem.

Here's some info from Google:
King Conga was a legendary, Fremont, California-based percussion company. Founded in the late 1960s by musician Cirilo "Mitch" Basas and Ray McGinnis, they were among the very first to successfully produce fiberglass congas. Only about 2,000 were ever made, making these rare drums highly sought-after collector's items. "King Conga" is also associated with the Afro-Cuban jazz classic track by Latin percussionist Willie Bobo.
Key Features:
Original Sizes: Requinto (9.5"), Quinto (10.5"), Conga (11.5"), and Tumba (12.5").
Design: Known for thin, lightweight fiberglass shells and unique, hand-painted artwork by McGinnis.
Endorser: The legendary conguero Armando Peraza.
Value: Highly collectible. Depending on condition and size, vintage sets can command hundreds or thousands of dollars

Open to trade for a King Conga 12.5 tumba or an LP Patato 12.5 tumba.
