(More customer reviews)Meinl has really topped them all with the Luis Conte congas! Great sound, great quality and cost less than anything else out there that can match it!
I have used them live mic'd with both acoustic & electric groups and they sound superb. Great for folklorico, latin jazz, etc... Very nice heads, sexy shell shape, strong hardware, hard to believe you can get a professional quality drum at this price, but it's true! SABOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of Luis Conte's needs have been met and exceeded with the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Signature Congas. They combine the charm and sound of the old traditional Cuban drums with modern features and innovations. The congas are equipped with traditional rims, are mounted as close to the shell as possible, and when combined with MEINL's True Skin Buffalo Heads, they enable an even more controlled sound.

A Passion for Details
Conga Rims The MEINL Traditional-Tuning-Rim (TTR) for congas represents the traditional "Cuban Style." It is narrowly placed around the shell and enhances the overall conga sound.
Conga Saver The patented Conga Saver is truly a MEINL innovation. Available in 8 mm and 10 mm versions, they are placed over the conga lugs to prevent them from damaging and scratching the shell while the conga remains fully tunable.
Conga Heads MEINL True Skin Buffalo Heads are without a doubt the perfect choice for both wood and fi berglass congas due to their structure, thickness, and sonic characteristics. True Skin hides are selected by specialists. After the selection process, each skin is gently tanned using a special MEINL procedure and then mounted by hand to become a first class True Skin Head.
MEINL Is a Member of the Germany Working Group of the Forest Stewards Council: FSC The traditional plantation of rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) in Thailand meets all ecological requirements. In a natural evolution, new trees are planted and the older ones, which have ceased to provide latex, are harvested. In this way, plenty of raw material is available and the valuable rain forest eco-system is preserved. In addition to rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.), we also utilize American White Ash (Fraxinus americana L.) which meets all the CITES-regulations set in the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora."
