What materials are used in the Meinl Headliner Series Snare Cajon?

This cajon is crafted with an eco-friendly MDF body in a matte black finish, providing a sturdy and resonant foundation. The playing surface, or tapa, is made from maple wood with a striking Pacific Blue Fade finish, offering both visual appeal and a responsive playing feel.

By loosening or tightening the screws on the top corners of the playing surface, you can change the amount of "slap" or "click" sound produced.
