Is it Cuban?

Here's another interesting drum. A Requinto that used to be an Oak barrel. I got it as payment for some repair work on a set of vintage GBs I did for a friend who's very good friends with Apache'. it's retrofitted with JCR hardware. I changed the tuning lugs to Manito Percussion. I had trouble tuning it with the original ones. They're getting re-threaded to be put back on. I know in Cuba everything used to be shipped in barrels so they had plenty of them to make Congas. That's why I suspect it might be. My friend bought it from a guy who worked for Cali at JCR hence the hardware. Thanks for any input gentlemen. It's always appreciated.
