Thomann Latin Expert 10" Conga

Great finish, excellent synthetic head, Hardware appears heavy duty and well chromed, the accompanying stand is heavy duty and easy to assemble, BUT the interior wood staves when pressed together and glued, some protruded and then were patched with a type of adhesive. I have four different patches on the interior. The only one I was concerned about was near the head. I removed the head to see if I needed to epoxy or fiberglass the patch but was satisfied it will suffice. The shipping cost to return and send a new one would almost be the cost of the Conga itself.
