Question
I have a set of Verve Conga drums. The boom attachment for raising and lowering the conga drums has broken. The stand is still good, but I cannot find this fitting. The lower rack tube is 1 1/8" in diameter and the top rack tube is 1". I have found one that Gibraltar makes, but it fits a 1.5" rack tube (lower) and fits 7/8" (top) tube. Surely, some company makes this fitting. Any suggestions would help.
Thank you,
Hal
Answer
Hal,
Verve is a a company only in name.
They are made in some factory either in Taiwan, China, Japan, Indonesia or Thailand.
There are about a dozen names of companies that make either Latin, African or Carribean instruments or accessories.
THere could be 3 or 4 or 5 or more names, that are all made in the same factory.
Of the 10 or 12 names, there could be 3 or 4 different types of stands.
However, those companies do not make replacement parts.
I have looked and have never found anywhere that I could buy them.
If you plan on keeping these congas, I would take the stand to a machine shop and they can make a new fitting.
Hope this helps.
Mike
