Lp Lpm198 Mini Tunable Wood Conga Natural

This drum (can it really be called a conga at this size? let's just stick to drum...)is a real instrument. The construction of the shell and the quality of the head,hoop and tensioners all indicate that this is not a toy -- it's meant to be played.But you should know that this a very small drum -- the head diameter is about3 1/2". So it can't really be played like a conga, especially in terms of gettingany kind of a bass note with the palm of your hand (the palm of your handpractically covers the entire head). But for what it is, it sounds great. As a fingerdrum, it sounds more like something from South Asia than from South or CentralAmerica. Very nice ring tone. I like this drum a lot, but mostly just to fool aroundwith. I can't imagine it being very useful as an accompaniment to anything otherthan maybe a single acoustic guitar, and I can't really imagine it being part of alarger percussion ensemble. But as a "apartment drum", it's great!

If you're looking for a toy drum that makes a lot of noise, this is not it. However it is built pretty close to the high standards of my other LP drums, plus it has the feel of the others. I use it to play while sitting in my lounge chair. I find it perfect for practicing finger beats, and my speed has increased dramatically. An additional plus, is because of relatively low volume, I don't bother others. The head is not large enough to do a hand heal/finger beat, but I wanted something small, and I like it a lot

Product Dimensions are wrong on descriptionH = 11 and NOT 11.5W =5.8 and NOT 7.5 the widest part on drum's shell not the top where the drum's head is.The diameter of the rim is 5 and NOT x 7.5 inchesThe drum's head itself is 3.75Very disappointed with incorrect product dimensions.Going back for return, they should put the correct dimensions so they’re no surprises when product arrives.These are the correct dimensions for this product please see attached pic

The mini tunable conga is .... great fun... The key to tune the conga is included when you order the Natural wood conga . It is just perfect for working up a program on larger congas ...you will find the conga a must after you pull it out of the packing... Highly recommended for Conga Drum players and for folks who enjoy listening and playing to your favorite music.Thank you Amazon .

I wanted a small conga for fun. This drum is just what I was looking for. It is a small finger drum. Very handy and fun. I don't see it's use as anything other a small well built, good sounding personal fun drum. But creative musicians may find a more significant use in the percussion section or a functional prop for a singer.

Was a nice product. Kid size. Small!

Is a small conga drum. While I like the drum well enough, I am dissatisfied with the lack of size criteria presented in the sales display. It is a good sounding accessory drum you can carry under your arm. It will be fun on the beach this semester.Update:This little drum was a favorite with my friends sitting around a bonfire at Mad River beach here in Arcata, California this summer. I was able to play my bass guitar accompanying a friend and could allow some attractive woman to keep time with the conga. There is no bad way to play this drum, even howling into the open end is fun. Enjoy life and get this drum.

Outstanding product and fast delivery, I needed the LP Mini Conga for a presentation for a interview and it arrived promptly and looked great, great sound, my class loved it and 5 people wanted info on how to order the Mini Conga. The price was a lot less than other sites and the most important thing was it was in stock, Thanks Amazon.com
