Star vintage bongos coooooooool

Posts: 772 Threads: 93

I have just bought these from ebay for £13.00 not sure if thats a deal or ive been stung. I have no problems in replacing heads as ive wrapped many calf skin bongos and congas. I have added a pic from 1972 Tama brochure, a pro set 2 tone wood. I must admit once cleaned up and re skinned they are gonna sound and look great.

Good find!!! I have two sets myself. My most recent acquisition is in mint condition! A little tung oil will brighten up the shells like new. Have fun!

Okay, Sean. Sounds good!

P.S. I was fantastically lucky this past summer in that I found a Star conga in excellent shape to add to my collection. Even had the original calfskin head.

Hey, alot2008!

I have a set of those gold sparkles too but, mine aren't nearly as in as good a condition as yours. Thanks for sharing. Very cool!
