Conga Mini Tunable LP LPM198AW

The replica that replicates the original. The LP LPM198AW Mini is not an imitation, but a complete instrument in smaller dimensions.

The LP LPM198AW Mini proves that size doesn't always define capability. This miniature conga, made of oak wood and fitted with natural leather, is a faithful replica of the legendary Latin Percussion congas in traditional format. Despite its small size, it surprises with its authentic sound, offering a true percussion experience in a compact body that fits in any space.

At approximately 30 cm tall, the LPM198AW was not conceived as a merely decorative piece, but as a full-fledged instrument, ready to integrate into a percussion set or stand alone.

The design of this model preserves the elements that have made LP congas a world reference: a warm timbre, balanced resonance, and the durability of an instrument built to last. The natural skin provides an expressive response to the touch, ensuring rich bass and lively highs even in a smaller format. The tuning system makes this mini conga even more special, allowing musicians to adjust the sound according to the context in which they play, whether for practice, rehearsal, or performances.

Oak, chosen for the body, adds robustness and stability, while the natural finish enhances the traditional aesthetic of LP congas. This instrument is designed for percussionists who appreciate portability without losing the essence of sound, ideal for touring, using in small studios, or simply enjoying at home.

Latin Percussion, founded in the 1960s by Martin Cohen in New York, was born out of the need to address the shortage of Cuban instruments during the trade embargo. The impact was immediate: within a short time, its products began to set the pace for the biggest Latin Jazz bands and gained a place in multiple musical genres, from rock to pop. This legacy of innovation and quality is still present in each instrument, including this miniaturized version that pays homage to the past but was created for frequent use in the present.

When you hold the LP LPM198AW Mini, you feel the same tradition and attention to detail that distinguish all Latin Percussion congas. It's a piece of educational value for those learning, practical for musicians on the move, and inspiring for collectors who value iconic instruments in special shapes.

If you're looking for a versatile, tunable conga with the prestige of Latin Percussion, the LP LPM198AW Mini is the ideal choice. Compact in size but gigantic in authenticity, it's an instrument that carries the soul of Latin percussion and promises to bring new rhythmic colors to your music.
