Product Overview

The Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum is a unique and user friendly drum instrument that provides great sound quality and portability. This cajon is perfect for acoustic shows, jam sessions, accompanying guitarists, and supporting acoustic bands in coffee house settings. With its 100 Baltic birch wood construction, this cajon has superior natural acoustic qualities that provide plenty of definition with deep bass and cutting high tones.

I was pleasantly surprised by the craftsmanship of the Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum. The Baltic birch wood is durable and solid, yet lightweight enough to be easily transported. The light brown finish adds a touch of elegance to the instrument. I was also pleased to find two sets of internal fixed snare wires positioned against the inside of the playing surface these snare wires are held in place with a thin mesh strap that leaves the tone unaltered. This feature gives you the same effect as a snare drum.

The Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum is also portable and easy to use for anyone regardless of skill level or age. It measures 10 1/4 wide x 15 tall x 10 1/4 deep, making it compact for easy transport. On the underside of the cajon are four solid silicone feet which help eliminate unwanted vibrations while protecting the cajon body from scratches on virtually any surface. Additionally, a 4 circular port is cut into the backside of the Baltic birch resonating body to enhance the tone by letting air escape the instrument as you play it again, this is an ideal spot for microphone placement if needed.

When it comes to sound quality, I found that this cajon box drum provides excellent sound quality with deep bass and crisp snare sounds. You can create drum set grooves with bass and snare notes using your hands play with your hands toward the center for deep bass or strike near the top corners with your fingers for crisp snare sounds. Furthermore, thanks to its internal snares, it produces very authentic sounds that make it great for jam sessions or accompanying guitarists in coffee house settings.

Overall, I think this is a great product for beginners who want to learn how to play percussion instruments without spending too much money on expensive drums sets. It s also perfect for more experienced musicians who need an easy to use instrument that they can take along on their travels or use when accompanying other musicians in small venues or spontaneous jam sessions. This Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum comes with excellent craftsmanship, good sound quality and superior portability all at an affordable price what more could you ask for?
