Are these things solid stave or the 2-ply ash? I can't find a lot about them online.

2 ply ash. To be honest, I had a set of the solid stave ca series ( requinto, conga , tumba) and did not like the sound, i even changed the heads and put some nice bill confer skins on, too dry sounding. These are much warmer and have a fuller sound with more tone, even with the plastic heads. I was also told that the acuna series followed more of the traditional go bops shape with the lower belly.
