Your cart is empty.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.

I had never played Cajon, I am a total beginner. I researched various brands and styles and chose this model based on ratings and online information, and its perfect for my needs. I watched video's online to get started playing. Its very well made, has good tone and designed so well that even though I am overweight it supports me just fine while playing and yet is very light weight to haul around. It comes in a VERY nice case to carry it. I have played with the worship team at church several times and people enjoyed hearing it. The regular Cajon player turns out also has this exact same drum and loves it, it was rec. to her by a drummer friend. This is a great beginner drum but can take you much farther than that as you progress. Playing really is a lot of fun!

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.

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.

As you can see from the photos, this is not an under sized cajon. I am 6-1, 195 and find it comfortable. The onlyCon 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.

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.

The Cajon is solidly built and the faceplate is very responsive, with two sets of snares behind it. For example, you can strike the two top corners very softly and it still resonates with excellent definition. The faceplate fingertap is quite high-pitched with good attack and the bass notes are full and deep. Of course, the snares are fixed but at a price point of $99, shouldn't really be asking for more. The Cajon bag is a bonus.Also, I have recorded on the Cajon using an Audix f10 placed two inches behind the soundport, and the sound is awesome! The faceplate also works very well with the Meinl Cajon pedal. An excellent value and a good entry into Cajon drumming.

Ho comprato questo cajon da principiante, guardando prima di tutto prezzo e marca conosciuta. Principalmente sono una cantante, ma suono anche chitarra e pianoforte. Volevo avvicinarmi ad un tipo di percussione un po' più completa e soddisfacente a livello di resa e suono in sè. Diciamo che se un minimo sai stare dietro al ritmo ti può dare tante soddisfazioni. Suono ottimo, sia di bassi che di alti (rullante) e molto intuitivo fin da subito su dove trovarli :) Quando mi è arrivato subito mi sono lasciata un po' prendere dalle recensioni negative sul rullante inesistente, sui suoni minimizzati, ma...non è per niente vero!!!! Basta sperimentare un attimo e si capisce dove bisogna percuotere per avere un determinato effetto rispetto che un altro.Quando mi è arrivato ho messo canzoni in loop su youtube e ho suonato per ore.Non sono un'esperta e sicuramente esiste di meglio, ma io lo trovo molto bello, intuitivo, buon suono e ottimo rapporto qualità -prezzo...quindi lo consiglio!

A moins de 100€, un super rapport qualité prix.Bien entendu, cela ne vaut pas un haut de gamme proposé chez votre marchand d'instru mais ca fait bien le travail.La grosse différence entre celui là et ceux que j'ai essayé dans des magasins réside dans la puissance du cajon. en effet celui là est "discret" mais reste très satisfaisant, en tout cas suffisament puissant pour énerver mes voisins!
