9.75" 45th Anniversary Requinto
45th Anniversary Congas
The limited edition LP 45th Anniversary Congas are easy to spot, beginning with the unique 45th anniversary engraving, applied to a specially contoured 30" tall kiln-dried ash wood shell. LP applied a thin layer of reinforcing fiberglass to the upper quadrant of the inner shell. It provides solidity and also tightens the upper harmonic tones, rather like a reinforcement hoop on a vintage drumset tom. The Comfort Curve II Extended-Collar rim and all hardware is made of brushed nickel, give the drums a cool retro look. The cool blue-purple color has a special quality which, diffuses stage lights almost as if it were silver or vintage pewter. The ash wood shell has an outstanding resonation. It is a beautiful and sensitive wood which responds quickly and makes drummer easier. The hand-selected water buffalo head also produces strong resonation and adds warmth to the tone.
45th Anniversary Bongo
LP 45th Anniversary Bongos feature the same luxurious brushed nickel Comfort Curve II Extended Collar Rims and hardware. The drum shell spotlights an engraved 45th anniversary logo. A special selection of thin, consistent rawhide heads also branded with the 45th anniversary logo completes the look of these fine bongos.
