Select mahogany and custom-fitted bottom rings are just a few of the features that make this an incredible
drum.
Only the finest air-dried quarter-sawn mahogany was used to make the drum shell for each Anniversary
Super Quinto conga drum from the California Series. Each stave is meticulously cut and bent by hand, then steel rings are
hand-hammered into place, before it is set aside to cure for months. The drum shells are then hand-glued, again hammered to
shape and turned by an artisan who has made these shells the old-fashioned way for more than 20 years. By the time the conga
drums are sanded to a baby-soft finish, nearly one full year has passed. The length of time it takes for Gon Bops to create
their conga drums is just one factor that bears witness to their rigorous quality standards.
