Your cart is empty.The MEINL Bongo Cajon is a compact cajon with high and low pitched areas similar to a bongo, but with a woody cajon sound. It is constructed in the traditional Peruvian style without any snares to produce a clean, warm tone that blends the sound of bongos with a cajon. This instrument is ideal for players who want to pick up and go without carrying around a larger drum, or to have around the home for fun jam sessions. The sound is not limited by its size, and its ergonomic design allows you to comfortably play from the lap as you would with actual bongo drums. The environmentally sustainable Rubber Wood has outstanding resonating acoustic properties and is structurally durable. Included on this bongo cajon are small silicon rubber feet to keep the instrument from slipping on smooth surfaces.

Have had these about a month now and still play them all the time. Seems like alot of these all wood bongos are good practice bongos or merely bongos with a twist, but these are more than that. While they are very convenient as practice bongos (don't have to tune or detune them like my regular bongos) they make far more different sounds than my bongos and that makes them different. Can't count the number of different sounds it can make; you can hit the top, front, back and sides of it with your palms, fingertips, knuckles or bottom of your fists for many different sound variations. The tones range from a booming bass to various higher woody tones. The two sides (which sound different from each other) and the rim of the larger chamber sound especially cool. Despite all of that, you can make them sound alot like regular bongos too, so not a bad drum for beginners although it takes some time to find all of the numerous sweet spots. Looks great, different, nice wood. Meinl also sells this same exact unit without snares for about $10 less; I ended up taking the snares out of the larger chamber because it sounded too much like a tool box but I left them in the smaller chamber. My brother just got the LP bongo cajon. It's smaller and doesn't make nearly as many sounds as this one, but it's easier to make bongo-like sounds on the LP (because that's most of what it does). Would give this 10 stars if possible,one of my most often played drum, only complaint is it can be hard to keep properly positioned, no big deal.

I recently saw a band play at a local bar and the drummer was using a standard, full sized cajon. I was impressed with the great sounds that he was able to get out of a wooden box. He even let me play it a little after they were done with their set (although I have never really played the drums at all). I went right home and searched for one on Amazon.After looking at a lot of great cajons I settled on this item. First, I liked the price; if it ended up in my closet I wouldn't feel as bad as I would if I spent 2-4 times as much for a full sized cajon. Secondly, I thought that I would be tempted to pick up the bongo more often than I would be tempted to sit on a standard cajon. Lastly, I have always loved the bongos. My father had a traditional set in the 50's and I though that they were very cool.The first thing that I did when the bongo arrived was to start to bang on it as I knew what I was doing. Although the tones of the bongos were earthy and pure, my lack of experience was painfully obvious. I then brought it to a friend who is an accomplished Latin percussionist. Wow! I was blown away with the sounds that he could get out of this small box. I have now an beginners's instructional DVD which teaches basic bongo groves. I will be fooling around with this cajon just for my own pleasure. I plan on ordering a child's version for a local elementary schools music department. Great and fun item!

Really enjoy this cajon, it really complements the percussion set I have. The two tones are distinctive and the snare adds a nice bit of snap to it. But it actually has even more sounds that you can get from it just by tapping the outsides as well.

schlagfläche einstellbar wie bei der "goßen cajon" - sizzle effekt einstellbar (keine Wunder erwarten) - bass der größe entsprechend (hab ein bassreflexrohr aus dem hifi-bereich eingebaut - wird etwas satter) - die füße habe ich durch moosgummipads ersetzt (lässt sich so auf einer djembe positionieren) - macht spass

finalmente l'ho comprato.molto bello esteticamente,le rifiniture sono ottime come la qualità del legno.pensavo fosse più grande invece è molto leggero e facilmente trasportabile ovunque.il suono inizialmente è vibrante ma basta togliere le due cordiere con un semplice cacciavite per ottenere un suono decisamente più pulito e corposo.comunque il prodotto è ottimo,è un vero strumento a percussione.va molto bene per imparare,anche se pensavo fosse più semplice da suonare,ci vuole molta pratica ma questo bongo cajon è davvero eccezionale.straconsigliato!
