Looking for Tabla

topic posted Mon, May 12, 2008 - 10:16 AM by  Eric
Hey group,
I have a friend looking to buy a Hossam Ramzy Tabla.
Anyone here who owns one, and is interested in selling, please contact me: ericp37@yahoo.com
My friend is looking to purchase a used one, and wishes to buy and ship within the U.S.
Thanks,
-Eric

    Hell, I'm looking for one too. Hossam doesn't seem to be selling anymore. I thought people held on to those beauties like life itself.

      That's the one my buddy was going for, a computer glitch got in the way and he missed the last bid.
      So, now he's still looking.

      Re"Held onto those like life itself"

      You'd think so, I'd never get rid of mine ever.
      But as long as someone somewhere wants to sell, my friend has a chance of getting one, and he wants one very much.

        I wonder why Hossam stopped selling them?

          Last I'd heard through the grapevine, as of late he wasn't pleased with the guys in Cairo making the drum shells.
          He may have put a hold on production til he gets that worked out.

            Hehehe, join the club, Hossam! Tis why everyone is buying stuff through Mid-East, and most of that is made in Turkey.

            Recycled, recycled, recycled beer cans and pot metal does not make for a very good drum.

            I also heard that he was not pleased with the casting of the last group. Hell, I'll buy good aluminum and ship it over for him!
