[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 339686, member: 55"]I'd go with Jeff Drum on this one. Congas all look pretty much alike, to one not intimately familiar with them; so the fact that they, or their hardware looks "the same" to me or you, doesn't really mean much. It is not an area where an online search by someone unfamiliar with conga drums will reveal any actual comparable drums. I'd guess it is sort of like someone who has a native mask or basket, saying to Komo or Taupou or me that it looks "the same" as one they saw online. In some areas, you really need an expert; in this case, someone who has seen or better, played hundreds of conga drums, and can recite all the makers in the last century from memory, and ID their products using the kinds of identifying features that only such an expert would know. That wouldn't be me, in this case.[/QUOTE]
