Meinl Percussion Cafe Cajon Drum with Bag - Snare/Bass Tone - Made in Europe - Birch Wood - 2-Year Warranty - Natural/Wine Red

The Meinl Percussion Snare Cajon, sometimes referred to as a beatbox or box drum, is a wooden acoustic percussion instrument that is played by sitting on it and using hands (pronounced "kah-hone"). Made in Europe from 100% Baltic birch, this cajon delivers full, resonant bass notes and crisp slap tones. Baltic birch is known for its naturally balanced tone with punchy lows, balanced highs, and excellent projection. This wood is commonly used in high-end drum set construction for its exceptional sound quality.

To achieve its super-crisp slap sound, this cajon is equipped with two sets of coiled steel snare wires against the playing surface. The frontplate responds well to finger rolls, corner slaps, and bass hits, providing optimal dynamic control. Playing towards the center of the cajon broadens the bass notes, creating a deep and punchy sound similar to a kick drum. The sound port on the rear side helps develop bass tone and allows for microphone placement.

The non-slip silicone feet provide stability while allowing the body to resonate fully. Ideal for acoustic gigs where a full drum kit is not practical, the Meinl Standard Cajon Bag is included for easy travel. The durable exterior of the bag is resistant to water, stains, and abrasions, making it perfect for heavy road use.

Crafted in Europe from high-quality materials, Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business with a rich history dating back to 1951 in Germany. The Meinl Cafe Cajon is designed for easy playability, making it a perfect instrument for beginners to learn percussion without any prior experience. Perfect for acoustic shows, jam sessions, teaching rhythm, or worship music, this cajon offers a fun and accessible musical experience for all skill levels.

With its solid construction, crisp sound, and included gig bag, the Meinl Cafe Cajon is a versatile and reliable instrument suitable for a variety of musical settings. Built with quality materials and expert craftsmanship, this cajon is designed to last and provide hours of musical enjoyment.
