LP's First and "Original" fiberglass conga. These congas are tried and true, LP has been making the Original congas virtually the same for over four decades. Their rounded shape and wider bottoms give them extra volume and a warmer sound. They are 28" tall, great for Salsa music and available in black & red colors.
LP Original Model Conga Drums
Virtually unchanged since their introduction in the 1960's, LP Original Model Congas have become the standard fiberglass conga of Salsa players the world over.
The 28" tall congas are the ideal height for the seated player. Their extra wide bottom aids in stability and also enhances the drum's low and mid range tones.
LP Original Model Congas have hand picked natural rawhide heads and feature chrome hardware, LP's famous Comfort Curve II Rims, 5/16" diameter tuning lugs and reinforced LP Heart® Side Plates, each secured with a backing plate.
The LP fiberglass shell has a steel ring embedded in the bearing (top) edge for added strength. All LP Original Model Congas come with LP ProCare Integrated Shell Protectors that prevent the side plate hardware from marking or damaging adjacent drums. This new compact design offers maximum protection without detracting from the drum's beauty. An accessory pouch, a tuning wrench and LP Lug Lube are also included.
LP Originals are the same congas as the Candido Congas except the Original Congas have the LP badge on the outside of the shell & are made in black & red while the Candido congas have the Candido badge on the out of the shell & they are made only in white.
