• WHY IT MATTERS: Pepote is a master cajon craftsman; he's tested countless wood combinations and varnishes, created a special unbreakable snare string, designed baffles and pop filters—the list goes on; everything he does revolves around chasing the best
• TONEWOODS USED: a 9-ply Baltic birch body and walnut frontplate deliver rich, punchy, and balanced tone; the body is shaped with a slight angle for wide bass spectrum and player comfort
