Do you specifically want LP or can you just order Pearls?Seems like LPs don't fit other brands.
Hello
I wanted to replace the skins on a couple of sets of Pearl bongos (contour crown rims) with LP hand picked rawhides. I thought it would be simply be a case of checking they fit and ordering...Oh no. Appart from nobody having the skins in the sizes I needed, no one could even tell me if they'd fit - LP didn't even bother to reply! So...
Does anyone know if the LP skins will fit?
I've read that skins that fit LP's Comfort Contour ii rims fit Pearl Contour Crowns - anyone know if this is definately the case...
...and lastly - LP only do 9" skins for 'congas' - I assume this makes no difference and they won't be too thick for bongos?
Swea****er, Thomann don't have the information - even when asked. LP don't list skins as one of their products and couldn't even be bothered to reply to my enquiry.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply...
I have Pearls, they sound a bit dull to my ears so I wanted to try LP's hand picked.
You say it "'seems' LPs don't fit other brands" - do you know that from experiance?
I ask because from looking at the Remo site, their heads for LP Comfort Contour ii bongos are the same part number as their heads for Pearl Contour Crown.
Most likely the only way you'll know is to try it. But I'd be insistent that a return policy is painless before investing.

Maxis, not talking from experience. LP lit says will not fit other manufactures.

Well buying and trying would be one way. But not the only way. Asking someone who has tried it would be another - less onerous way.
That's sort of what these forums are for.
Don't know personally, but I found a thread about guys putting Remo Fybre Skins on LP bongos.Hope this helps.
