This is a nice set of Permier tunable bongos from the 1950's. These bongos are all original except for the heads with theri original deco lugs in excellent condition. The gold sparkle wrap has some spotting but it is tight to the drums and in good shape otherwise. The interior of the shells is painted gray. The tension rods are round slotted with excellent plating. The large drum has a skin head while the smaller drum has an older plastic head. The center bracket is also the original hardware for the drums. These Premier bongos are a rare find and will make a great addition to a 1950's or 1960's Premier outfit.
