    Description

    Manito 19-1/2 inch diameter Conga Skin (large enough to reskin a Tumba) - never used.
    Manito Percussion (Manito and Swen are the proprietors) is known for sourcing the highest quality skins and making handmade solid wood congas out of already fallen, indeginous wood in the Athens, GA area (Swen handles the skins, 'Manito' the drum manufacturing). They have a long waiting list for their drums. The business is also known for their high quality skins.
    This thick hide limits undesirable overtones...plus it has all the other desirable features of a good skin (e.g. consistent thinkness, texture, appearance, etc.).
    I had heard identical skins mounted on a friend's Tycoon Heritage drums (friend and I met through playing/reskinning drums). Swen still had identical skins from the shipment as verified through the index numbers on trimmings. So I ordered this skin to mount on a vint
    age LP fiberglass tumba but had an offer to sell it with the Tumba's synthetic skin in place. So this new unused Manito skin is for sale.
    Please see photo of receipt.
