Maple Cajon with Walnut Burl Faceplates
Handbuilt in the Kopf Percussion shop, this cajon pairs a hard maple body with striking walnut burl faceplates to deliver a clean, balanced, and highly responsive voice. The denser maple shell enhances projection and clarity, while the burl faces add warmth and visual character.
The dual-sided design offers two distinct playing surfaces:
• A fixed-snare side for crisp articulation and controlled sensitivity
• A traditional face for open tone, deep bass, and dynamic range
Each panel is individually matched for grain, stiffness, and resonance, ensuring a consistent feel across the entire playing surface. The result is a versatile cajon that responds well in acoustic settings, studio sessions, or live performance.
If you want a handcrafted instrument with strong low-end, clear highs, and the natural beauty of walnut burl, this model sits at the top of that category.
