Out of curiousity (yeah...again) does Pearl sell congas and bongos in a set with 2 different sized congas with a set of 2 different sized bongos, on either a stand, or mounted on a stand, attached to the congas? I've seen 2 different companies that do that on Musician's Friend website. I think LP was one of them, and the other company was one that I've never heard of. This company didn't have any pics posted, nor any product discreption with it, as well. Thanks once again!

What do you mean with different size congas?

Just in case, when you buy a set of congas you get a "high pitched" small size and a "low pitch" big size conga. In the case of congas , in what is called professional sizes, you will normally buy as a set a conga which is 11 3/4 (small/high pitched) and a tumbadora which is 12 1/2 (big/low pitched). (Sizes are in inches).

There is another type of conga called "quinto" which is smaller than the conga (11 inches). This type of conga is normally used for soloing and or as the "conga" in a set of two or if you want to add "more sounds" to your set you include it in a "three basic congas". LP offers what they call 'a conga called requinto" which is smaller and I think is 9 inches or something.

If what you mean in different sizes is seeing a set of 10 /11 conga/tumbadora and another set of 11 3/4 and 12/12 set. The 10 /11 set it is normally called a "beginners"set. The 11 3/4 and 12 1/2, like I mentioned before is the professional size although some "mid level or budget lines" have those sizes. In the case of LP, they have three lines, LP, LP Matador and LP Aspire. LP and LP Matador will be professional sizes. LP Aspire is "beginners" sizes. I think Pearl has their Elite series, which is their professional series in professional sizes and a Primero series which is the "mid level/beginners" lines which are in "beginners" sizes.

With bongos the "professional sizes" are 7 or 7 1/4 in the macho (small drum) and 8 1/2 or 9 in the hembra drum (big drum). A beginners bongo will normally be lower than 7 in the macho and lower than an 8 in the hembra.

Hopefully, this helps!

Otay...what I mean is does Pearl sell a set of congas with a set of bongos, with the bongos on a stand by themselves, or on a smaller stand, that attaches to the back of the conga stand? I didn't mean for this to be confusing! Sorry if I did. The set that I saw on Musician's Friend website was a set of LP Congas (I think that they were the conga & tumbadora congiration), with a set of bongos that came with there own stand. Sometimes you can see them in an ad in either DRUM! or Modern Drummer mags.
