LPGiovanni Palladium Conga - 11 in. Quinto
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 11-inch quinto from LP's Giovanni Palladium line — the small, high-pitched conga in a set, for players ready to spend at the pro level.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead soloing over a set of tumba and conga
- Latin and salsa players who need a cutting high voice
- Adding a third, higher drum to an existing pair
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A first conga purchase — start with a wider conga or tumbadora
- Players wanting deep low end; the quinto sits high
- Budget buyers; this is priced as a professional drum
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Quinto
The soloing drum in a conga set. It carries improvised lines over the steadier low drums.
Detail 03
Natural finish
Undyed look that pairs cleanly with matching tumba and conga if you build out a set later.
Detail 04
Giovanni Palladium line
LP's artist-signature tier, so hardware and voicing target working players rather than beginners.
Detail 05
$822.03
Single-drum price. A full three-drum set costs roughly three times this.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as one drum — a tumba or conga is a separate purchase
- 02No stand or basket is included; a quinto is usually played on a stand
- 03Heads stretch when new, so expect retuning over the first few weeks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one drum or a set?
One drum. The quinto is the smallest, highest drum in a conga set, and the conga and tumba are sold separately.
02What size is a quinto versus a conga?
This quinto is 11 inches. A standard conga runs wider and a tumba wider still, which is what gives a set its pitch spread.
03Does it come with a stand?
No. Budget for a single or double stand, or a basket if you prefer to play seated.
04Is a quinto a good first conga?
Not usually. Most players start on a wider conga for the middle voice, then add a quinto for soloing.
