I bought some Bongos last week, but they are cheap ass ones. I had some from Cuba, but gave them to my uncle. So my cousin plays Skin on Skin congas and just said he "sold out and bought some "Giovanni" something or others. He's up to playing with four congas now and has even received props from Poncho himself.. I amd going on and on about my lil cousin because he started playing congas when I started carving. He tightens in a cross pattern and punched the top of my bongos to help seat them. He also put a little lotion on the skins. I know the skins will tighten up in the sun. I was on vacation and all the bongo players had a black skin on the smaller head and it had that sound y'all are talking about. Anybody seen on of these black skins? I'm on the path to bongo playing school. After a lil practice , I think I'll do a little carving on them.
