This instrument makes you feel like you bought a cheap instrument; for less than 70 euros, that was to be expected, but I thought there would be at least some attention to detail. It will not fall apart "i hope" but The wood is the cheapest available and very thin, but I suppose that was to be expected. However, there are some splinters coming off the top when I play, so don't expect smooth edges or anything like that. In terms of sound It's a snare cajon, and that's that. I was a bit disappointed because I think that considering the quality of construction, it could be 10 euros cheaper, and I wouldn't feel so shortchanged. It's an instrument that meets the minimum requirements.
