    Description

    Open to International Bidders!! This No Reserve auction, is for a pair of vintage 1940's Slingerland model # 303"Radio King" bongos plus their original Slingerland model # 310 bongo drum mounting brackets.
    As you can see from my pictures, these bongo drums are in superb condition. The factory original white marine pearl finish is beautifully preserved and is only lightly greened with age. The bongos measure 6" and 8" in diameter. Brand new calf skin heads have been installed and these two drums really have that classic "merengue" sound found on so many classic recordings from the 1940's and 50's.
    The original wood block that bolts the two drums together is also wrapped in the same white pearl as the two bongos. A pair of genuine Slingerland clamps are included to attach this pair of bongos to your bass drum, both of the metal clamp assemblies have the Slingerland factory logos stamped into their metal surfaces. As you can see from my pictures, all of the metal lugs, hoops and drum mounting clamps are brilliantly plated in highly polshed nickel and look amazing!!
    Shipping and Handling to Domestic U.S.A. addresses will cost .00 for this item. International bidders will need to supply me with a proper mailing address for a more accurate shipping rate quote.
