Meinl Cajon Box Drum with Internal Strings for Snare Effect, Mahogany Frontplate / Baltic Birch Body, 2-Year Warranty

The Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon, built from Baltic birch wood and outfitted with specially wound metal strings that span the inside of the playing surface, is a well-crafted percussion instrument that delivers well-defined snare and bass sounds. The Birch construction allows players to dig in with plenty of attack and a warm tone, while the internal fixed metal strings add a crisp and sensitive snare effect that makes it easy to produce deep back beats and articulate finger rolls. The rounded corners on the playing surface offer total comfort while maximizing the player's touch.

For drummers, the Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon is a dream come true. It takes no time to set up, and it provides the same kick and snare sounds as a drum set, but at a fraction of the volume. Players can achieve the deepest tone by playing towards the center and the crisp snare effects by playing near the top corners.

Many musical settings do not allow for the space or volume level of full drums, but the Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon is the perfect solution. It allows players to fully engage during acoustic shows with their band, jam sessions, or with their praise band without taking over the performance.

The Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon is crafted with a 100% Baltic birch wood body, which is also used in high-end drum sets for players who are serious about sound. It features a mahogany frontplate, ensuring exceptional quality and durability.

The Baltic birch playing surface delivers punchy bass with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of fixed custom micro-coiled steel cajon strings that give the player a crisp snare sound. The corners of the playing surface are rounded and sanded together with the resonating body, resulting in defined slap tones and a comfortable feel on the hands.

Measuring 11 3/4" W x 19 3/4" H x 12" D and weighing 10 lbs, the Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon is a compact and portable percussion instrument. Its 9-ply (12 mm) Baltic birch body ensures a robust and resonant sound. Four solid silicone feet keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface.

The Meinl Woodcraft Pro Cajon is the perfect choice for a wide range of musical settings, from acoustic shows and worship music to studio recordings and outdoor jams. As a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, Meinl is known for its expert German designers and their deep relationships with the builders, ensuring the delivery of the absolute finest quality.
