Tunes from the Top like a Snare Drum
Now you can make fast and precise tuning changes on the spot with the LP Classic Top-tuning Wood Tumba. Unlike other congas, which you have to spin around in order to reach the tuning lugs, the LP LP552T tunes up in seconds. But this feature is just one of several reasons why we at Sweetwater recommend LP, especially to players who are just starting out. This conga's shell is made from Siam oak for a traditional tone and response and has an interior layer of fiberglass to ensure your LP Classic Top-tuning Wood Tumba holds its shape. Comfort Curve II rims keep you from banging up your palms and knuckles as the night rolls on, and a real rawhide head gives you an authoritative sound for Latin rhythms and Afro-Cuban beats.
