Re: New (to Me) Congas
Where do I start?
Well, Jack, welcome to the brotherhood of congueros (and yes, the sisterhood of congueras!) from the guy whose nickname is a contraction of "bongo brother." Those CPs look quite similar to my own CPs, which I purchased in the summer of 1996, and if your experience with them is anything like mine, you will love playin' them and seeing what kinds of sounds you'll get out of them.
Good call, man!
And MDK, you weren't taken...you should be able to find the missing parts by looking for a Meinl dealer or googling their website...
I have an older pair of Meinl bongos that I bought used at a pawn shop some years ago, and it took only a little cleaning and tuning to get them soundin' awesome...nothing else had to be replaced!
So from one bongosero/conguero to two others...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
