Latin Percussion Giovanni Fits-All Conga Bag (LP541BK)

Comments:

I bought these a little over ten years ago. Within a relatively short amount of time, these will more resemble husks than bags. The straps cannot support the weight of a medium sized conga for extended use without popping off (on one, the stitching gave way and the other, the metal failed). Afterward, I walked in to the vendor I purchased them from and they didn't even need to ask me why I was bringing them back! It is possible they have changed this since then, but I wouldn't chance it. Additionally, the zippers aren't as tough as they should be for what they are carrying (they're about the same gauge as a medium sized mallet bag) and the design is such that the zippers at the bottom can't fully close. You'd be better off getting one of LP's simpler bags like the LP543Bk, which is what I ended up getting to replace these. (Btw, I've also had bad luck with the Palladium bags, which are even more expensive than the Giovanni model, breaking and failing)

Bought this bag years ago. It fell apart within the first time of using it. It's strong and durable, but the straps which were supposedly strong, ripped from the bag on BOTH bags. and then there's really no way to carry it! You shouldn't sell these and he should be ashamed to have his name on this product. I'm going to purchase the Steve Weiss ones.
