TYCOON MTCHC-110 BC/S Master Handcraft Series

Conga is one of the types of drums that fall into the category of "African". Although the roots of this instrument really lie on the black continent, it is a drum typical of Cuban culture and interestingly enough, you won't find the conga in Africa at all anymore. This drum is characterized by its typical cigar shape and a standard height of around 75 cm. The diameter usually ranges from 9 inches (22.8 cm) for the conga called 'ricardo' to 14 inches (35.5 cm) for the so-called supertumbo. The conga is not only heard in Cuban streets, dance halls and restaurants, but also in many other places around the world where their characteristic sound is used in rhythms such as salsa, mambo, rumba, bolero and others.

This particular Master Handcrafted Original Conga is handmade from select Siamese oak wood grown on special plantations belonging to Tycoon Percussion, with premium water buffalo skin used for the soundboard - a completely ideal material for achieving a balanced sound. The hand-shaped body is 76.2 cm high and 28 cm in diameter, its shape is slightly "plumper", ensuring solid bass without sacrificing treble at the slap. The colour scheme here comes in an interesting finish.

Deluxe type steel ferrules are used for reinforcement, and the same material is used for the screw grips and tuning screws with a diameter of 9.5 millimeters. There is also a carrying handle on the body. The conga also includes a stand for standing playing, a tuning key and a screw lubricator.

The congas from the Tycoon Master Handcrafted Original series are drums that are sure to impress you with their high quality workmanship, premium materials and above all a very good sound with their traditional characteristics.
