What can I say? JCRsrank among the very best bongos money can buy, especially now that their makerCali Rivera has moved away from bongos to focus on selling skins, cowbells, andtimbales. Strong chrome hardware that isflush with the solid shells and tunes up and down with ease. Shells are in excellent condition. The drum plays like butter and speaks withpresence and projection. Head sizes area little smaller than the standard, in addition to a shorter center block. This bongo was made for seated play. An African goatskin from Drumskull drums has been fit to the macho (smaller) head. The larger head is an original JCR cowskin.

Since these pictures were taken, one of the rubber end-pieces for the lugs have gone missing.
