Clear-coated and hand-polished to a gleaming shine, the generous array of silver sparkles floating on an opulent black background pops under the stage lights like a multicolored constellation in the night sky, creating a three-dimensional illusion that looks as if you can almost reach right into the shell. From gig to gig, show to show, these are the hardest-working congas around. These congas have 30″ tall Asian oak shells with a beautiful high-gloss Black Sparkle finish. The Afro-Cuban shell shape adds volume and resonance. The congas feature durable chrome hardware, EasyPlay hoop, 6 lugs, and premium matched natural bison heads.
