Hello to all Vintage Drum Guide Forum members. I play congas only as a hobby. I enjoy talking about almost any thing pertaining to hand drumming. I have about 12 hand drums as a mix of djembes and congas, old, new, large, junior sizes, and from moderately priced to somewhat pricey. I hope I have some information to share.

I happened to come across this site while searching for the answer to my question; what was the last year that the Original Gon Bops congas, with the original traditional sound, (before DW bought the comany's name) were made?

Is there any literature available that will support this.:D

Thank you for accepting my membership.
