The first model of oval-shaped craft cajon in the world. Like a wood bending show, specially building it in the shape of a capsule so that the bending technique can fully show itself on the body of the cajon, and the oval shape adds an extra sharp and loud tone compared to the traditional cajon increasing the richness of its performance. The body of the cajon is formed in one piece, the surface of the cajon is cut manually, finely polished, then a natural burning method is used to color the wood; the configuration of the strings is readjusted so the sound from the cajon comes out at its best.
