Unfortunately, I am sending the "Fiesta" bongos back to x8, due to a hairline crack near the seam of a stave, at the bottom of the "Macho" drum.The sound that I got out those bongos was emense, with loud projection.It is soley due to how "Gon Bops" construct their drums, in the old Cuban style of design and craftsmanship.Unfortunatley, the "Parawood" used, which is mature rubber tree wood, and is not the most stable wood for drum construction, but they sound "Mucho fantastico" for the price.I do highly recommend all "Gon Bops" products to all Bongoceros out there, enthusiast or professional.Gon Bops are the best and most sought after.Your fellow "Bongocero" and soul drummer, Martin B.Oh, and by the way I am upgrading to a pair of Gon Bops "Mariano's Bongos".Thank you x8.
