I'm working like and found the assembly despite the poor building instructions not particularly difficult. Clear need tools - if possible also a few large clamps. Annoying: The plywood needed Nachverleimungen and a few words about a meaningful paint would not hurt either. A star deduction. Worse, however, is: it comes out not an instrument! The sound does not fulfill completely the expectations I put on a Meinl Cajon. And with the Meinl Snare should look confidently times the solutions of the competitors!
