Designed with Alex himself and constructed in his homeland, this is an authentically Peruvian cajon.
This Alex Acuña Signature Cajon features Peruvian mohena construction with dovetail corners and a lacquer finish. At Alex's request, a matte-finished face was added. The cajon has a partially adjustable face and rubber feet. The sound is warm with plenty of bass response.
This cajon comes with a free bag.
