New Ziricote Congas

 

The latest from Isla Percussions, ziricote congas with our own tanned in house skins. These ziricote congas are made from the prized tone wood ziricote which is not only beautiful in appearance but also sound. These congas have the same true and authentic Cuban sound that Isla Percussions drums are known for and Isla is proud to offer them as one of the two new woods available at our new location in Belize. Handmade by Musicians and for Musicians.

Not only is Isla the sole drum maker to offer the rare and beautiful tone wood ziricote, Isla is also the only drum maker to offer skins tanned in house intended solely for our drums. The skins are purpose picked and tanned to offer the best and finest drum skin available.

 Ziricote wood is an option for congas when ziricote wood supplies are available. All hardware is stainless steel. See our price list for more information.

Skins

   Isla Percussions is now selecting and tanning skins for all our drums. Hides are carefully and purposefully selected for our instruments and then processed to achieve the best musical results. What this means is we have eliminated hides made for a different purpose. Every decision is made with the purpose of providing the best sounding drum skins. Skins will be tanned for the best results and the correct thickness will be chosen for the size or type of drum; bongos, quinto, conga, tumba, bata. Every Isla Percussions drum will have purpose tanned and chosen skins for the best musical sound. Made by musicians for musicians.
