Star Congas?

Posts: 2241 Threads: 379

Fellow Members:

I am the proud owner of a set of beautifully restored Stars, a great old Star cocktail drum and soon, thanks to Mikey, a vintage set of Star bongos! Many people on The Forum were instrumental in these restoration projects. I owe you guys a huge deal of gratitude! Thank you!

Does anyone know if Star, at any time produced a conga drum? I have tried to research this question but, to no avail. If Star did indeed manufacture such a drum, I know it would be my next quest. I'll tell my wife something.

Thanks again, everyone!

Brian

Brian, even the Star bongos come up very seldom at ebay - but like Mikey, I've never seen a Conga from them 'outside' of the pics of the Star catalogue.
