- Outdoor and humid-venue playing where real skin shifts

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
Skyndeep imaging
The calfskin look is printed into the film, so it is cosmetic — the playing surface is synthetic.
Detail 03
Symmetry design
Even collar geometry helps the head seat and tune consistently around the drum.
Detail 04
12.5 in. size
Conga sizing is by head diameter. A quinto, conga, and tumba each take a different size.
Detail 05
Synthetic film
Holds pitch through humidity and temperature swings far better than natural skin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your conga uses Crimplock hardware before ordering
- 02Head only — no hoop hardware, tension hooks, or tuning wrench
- 03Measure your existing head, sizes step in half-inch increments
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any conga?
No. It requires Crimplock-style hardware. Congas with traditionally tucked heads or other mounting systems will not accept this collar.
02Is this real calfskin?
No. It is a synthetic head with a calfskin image printed into the film. You get the look without the humidity sensitivity.
03What size conga does 12.5 in. fit?
It fits a drum measuring 12.5 in. across the head. Measure your current head or shell diameter to confirm before ordering.
04Do I need a special tool to install it?
You need the tuning wrench for your conga's tension hardware. That is not included here.
