The Meinl Bongo Cajon is uniquely different. It delivers the sound one can expect from a traditional cajon, and with a playing surface that has high- and low pitch sound areas, traditional bongo patterns can be played on it as well. Its compact size and light weight makes it the perfect companion on the road.

"Good Product, Good Price.. something different, pleasant sound."
Feature:
Not many features, it's a wooden box, looks like a small step stool, but I wouldn't suggest using it as one.

Quality:
Seems well made, everything fits well, seems solid.

Value:
A little expensive for a box, but then again, it's not a regular box.

Desirability:
Just a rectangular box.

Sound:
I like the "woody" sound, different than the ring or overtones of a regular bongo. To me it sounds like a mix of a bongo sound with a wood percussion instrument, like a wood block.

Ease of Use:
The shape is a little odd, being rectangular, but with a little experimentation you can find a comfortable way of holding it. Go on You Tube or the meinl web site and you can see a good way of holding on.

Support:
No.

Overall:
Good design, perhaps being a different shape might be good, but you get used to it. I like the sound and you never have to tune it. What it lacks in versatility it makes up for in terms of being different.
