Description
The Meinl Percussion Cafe Cajon is a portable, hand-played percussion instrument, made from 100% Baltic birch for full bass and crisp slap tones. Baltic birch delivers naturally balanced sound with punchy lows and clear highs (it’s used in high-end drum sets for serious players). Two sets of fixed steel snares add crisp tone, while a rear sound port enhances bass and serves as a mic spot. Non-slip silicone feet ensure stability and maximum resonance on any surface. Comes with the Meinl Standard Cajon Gig Bag. Full size but travel-friendly, it's perfect for acoustic music and easy for anyone to play, regardless of age—no experience required. 12" W x 17.25" H x 12" D, 7 lbs. (holds adults). Made in Europe.

What great fun and good quality! Having no experience with cajones, the price of this cajón is as stated. Good quality and great sounding! So easy to play if you have percussion experience and I can see why it can be so much fun! Great quality on the bag and highly recommend it. I look forward on in learning to use the cajon.

As you can see from the photos, this is not an under sized cajon. I am 6-1, 195 and find it comfortable. The only Con I can find with this cajon is the snare is noticeable when striking bass note. Of course you cannot expect a $100 cajon(that comes with a $30 or more case) to have the separation and tonal abilities of a $300 cajon. I did find that I needed to adjust the corners, even though Meinl says ready to play no adjustment needed, to suit my tastes. Now for the Pros: Cajon is well constructed, nice rounded edges, rubber feet on bottom, sounds very good, good bass volume(the snare on bass note is not that noticeable to those listening I am told) and includes a really nice case. I find no reason to not to recommend this cajon. Even if the case were not included it outclasses anything near it's price. Look at the finish and the interior construction (visible through the rear port/sound/mike hole) in the photos I have included and I think you will purchase this cajon. Also the case as I said is really nice with nylon web straps for handles, a HD nylon zipper with metal lockable loop, cordura-like woven nylon outer for durability, thin but dense foam padding, and a less abrasive but tough nylon inner lining. Update: I was asked a question and did not reply in time. The question "are the snares adjustable"; No, there are no adjustments for the snares. There are two snares attached inside the cajon. The only adjustment without modifying the cajon is to slightly loosen the top tree screws on the cabinet front corners which will make the snare sound more apparent. For the money I think you will be hard pressed to find a better sounding cajon. No cajon in this price range has adjustable snares that I know of. I Have had many comments on the sound quality of this cajon and it has held up well through many, many sessions.

Just on value alone, I would give this five stars. For the price, this a pretty sweet deal. Quality of the product is pretty good, but obviously not top tier. Sounds great when I had a mic on it for church in our worship band- some good booms for the bass sound and decent snare as well. However, when I was just playing around at home, softly, you could hear some extra buzzing/rattling from the snares that was not desirable. Really not terribly noticable though. Overall, very happy with the product. Got more than what I paid for, in my opinion.

I had never used a cajon when I ordered this one, but I'm a believer now. This is a very inexpensive and easy option to add some percussion to your playing. I have seem some use a base drum pedal setup with a cajon, but I just slap it - or have someone else slap it to get the needed percussive sounds. Quality construction, easy to use, no setup, very simple. Sounds good and is priced right. Overall, I am glad to have ordered it and can recommend it to others. Comes with a nice storage/carry bag. Looks nice.

I just received my CAJON.... and it looks ¡GREAT! Just as expected Greetings to all I must say I was skeptical and a bit hesitant about purchasing this musical instrument online. I am a musician (bass, classical guitar, charango) & it is my preference to purchase my instruments at the store. You know, that feeling of trying out the instruments before you buy kind of thing. Anyhow... I opened up the box &, I must admit, I was surprised by the quality of the gig bag. ¡Superb! ... Not the cheap quality material you find anywhere. Very rugged & well made. Very spacious by the way. The cajon fits perfectly in the bag. NOW, the CAJON (kah-hOwn).... BEAUTIFUL. The wine red finish makes it look sharp. He he he he. Just as expected. It completely met my expectations. Yes, I had some cajon time right there for about 5 minutes. It's got great sound. Very clear & deep where it's gotta have it. The snare is clear, also, and not over the top. Overall, this is a great product. I am very satisfied with it. BTW... it's not for me, but my wife. It's a gift for her. She loves percussion instruments and she's been asking me for a cajon for the longest time ever. I'm sure she's gonna love it. Gabbo

A super nice percussion addition to our home music nook. It's solidly built and has a thick bass sound and a crisp snare. Perfect for acoustic jam sessions. I'm sure you could play a gig with it, too. My six year old grandson loved the fact that he was able to immediately start playing with the grownups.
