Thank you for posting this, I am trying to learn to tune my congas properly and also play some specific rhythms on them instead of improvising rhythms.
I think I also tune my congas to 'tumbao' . This is my 3rd set of congas, but I normally would just find a sound I liked on one drum and naturally find a tuning on the other drum that compliments the first drum. I think its tumbao from the way you explained it. Trying to find middle C and G tuning now. It is hard for me to hear C note on drum

Thank you for your input and watching. Yes I have seen many great congueros that do the same and honestly I do sometimes as well, although I normally do like to have my quinto up high. God bless you

in this vid the two congas are a 3rd apart, not a 4th ;)

@Dreva you have tuned ears probably sharper than most haha...I still like it when congas are tuned about a fourth apart but it really is mainly about what feels right to you the most. Thanks for pointing that out

Thx for the great inst. But CCConserv. is right however: "Get to it man!" So is there a part three? What do you actually use to detect the accuracy of the tone...& please don't tell me just your ears (or I'm in trouble).

@TimBolenski what I suggest is to tune your ear to an actual key either on a piano/keyboard or purchase a nice tuner and play they note you want to tune the drum to. Once you find a conga player you admire listen with great repetition. The idea is to memorize/train your ear to the accurate pitch. A nice monochromatic tuner should have the proper pitches in it to detect the accuracy.
