Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

First Time To Auction

Circa 1960s-1990s. Aside from being a legendary actor among actors, Brando was a drummer, and lover of the conga drum in particular. A bonafide inventor, Brando created methods of tuning drums that would ultimately be patented and implemented. This personal Conga drum belonging to Brando, was designed by him and features his invention that utilizes an array of strings allowing the drummer to raise and lower the pitch of the instrument. The design patent was filed in 2002 and sources who worked on the patents with Brando have said that at the end of his life, his drumming innovations were among his proudest accomplishments. This drum, a favorite of Brando’s, remained in his personal collection until his passing in 2004. Measuring approximately 32.75 x 20 x 23 in. Exhibiting some age and wear. In very good condition.
