Loading...

Hey there,

I just got a vintage "Star" Conga.

I know that "Star" was the predecessor of Tama but couldn't find any other Infos about it... Anybody know what it might be worth?

They sold when new for $149.99 back in the 70's so you can figure more less it value today. Condition is the key facture in determining price.

Thanks for the quick answer! It has some scratches but sounds great and has built in stands!

Hey, b78!

I have one too! It sounds great with the original calf skin. Check out the Tama catalogs online. Mine (fiberglass, orange with white, yellow and green swirls is listed. I can't remember the year). Yours should be around as well. Very cool drum! Keep it!

Latin Percussion instrument loose a lot of value with age especially if they are Japanese made. For them to have value it must be hand fabricated or of a specialty wood. The only instruments today that gain tremendous value in the latin market is The Leedy timbales . Rogers timbales the Humberto Morales model, Hand crafted conga drums or Cuban made conga and bongos if refurbished and many Vintage model depending on quality and brand. Then condition is the main factor in determining price
