Control your sound when you play this cajon with an adjustable snare. With a box made of American white ash, it features a cushioned seat for longer jams.

To equip a cajon with fully adjustable snare wires is an original Meinl innovation and proves yet again Meinl's leading R/D status in the worldwide percussion scene. The snares touch the frontplate from the inside and deliver the classical cajon sound, which is requisite in Flamenco music. A knurled knob adjusts the amount of pressure used to press the snare wires against the frontplate. Rattling ranging between light and sensitive to very loud can be achieved through adjustment. The entire snare unit can even be turned off completely.

American White Ash
With its frontplate made from finest American White Ash (Fraxinus americana L.), this cajon lives up to the highest standards with regards to sound and quality.

like I have said with proper care and maintance this instrument will only improve with age. I got it as a used instrument yet it had never been played. this cajon is one of the most sought after amoung players. great entry level and pro. lost or stolen it would be replaced perhape a different strike plate material.
Sound
sounds like a drum kit, not a great drum kit, just a standard sound,it has plenty of adjustment to various playing conditions a few yet to be explored by this author. compatable with many styles left out only by the lack of imagenation. by the bag to carry it to gig and jam sessions.
Features
useful feature is the very solid construction and snare mechinism which varies to degrees and shuts off the snare sound.
Ease of Use
vast amount of expermentation leaves sounds too varied to mention. short legged people may experience some discomfort sitting on it after prolonged gigs.
Quality
as a box gose this is light yet very strong and ridged construction quality says to the player "Instrument".
Value
A value that will increase as time gose by,shure to become vintage.
Manufacturer Support
company seems proud of their instruments and user friendly.
The Wow Factor
no major flaws and yet no major bling or appointments.
