Vintage Conga and Bongo Restoration - Gon Bops and Valje

Skinned and repaired these drums for the Maestro Sandy Perez, and repair, restore and reskin for several other local Masters of the AfroCuban and African traditions. I am blessed to contribute in this way, to such an amazing tradition.

Here are some recent restorations, repairs and reskinning projects I thought you might enjoy. Some of these projects were complete restorations, others just repairs and reskinning.






The ugly truth.. lol










Superfly.. super fat 14" Gon bops in Oak!
