The Pearl Tree of Life Primero Cajon is constructed using MDF and features a meranti faceplate. Meranti is a wood known for its relative hardness and straight grain making it ideal for cajons. A built in bass port magnifies the massive low-end tone of the cajon while two sets of fixed snare wires provide a bright, crisp snare response. This cajon features a hand painted and silkscreened finish that wraps around the sides and top of the cajon featuring a stylized black raven. Primero cajons have a thunderous deep sound you have to hear. .
