The body of this Primero cajon is constructed using MDF and features a figured cherry faceplate. Cherry is a fine grained hardwood with darker wavy streaks. Because of its hardness, tonally cherry is a close match to maple and when used on a cajon provides more bottom-end. A built in bass port magnifies the bottom-end tone of this cajon while two sets of fixed snare wires provide a bright, crisp snare response.
