Meinl Rubber Wood Cajon Customer Review

Sound: This is a Cheap cajon. It sounded pretty dead out of the box, but I Loosened the strings a tad, Taped one string down that was buzzing, and Loosed the top corners and it sounds like a Cajon now. to the ear, It sounds like a Box with beads inside. But with a mic in the Back, which Is How I will be playing it-It sounds good enough. the Low end punches through quite clearly in the back with the peak at 60-125 Htz, pretty low. I found with a sm-57 almost all the way in and aiming Upwards toward the "snare" sound area, With EQ on the board I need to boost 2K and up, and bring down the Bass a bit, and It sounds good. Reverb Helps it. Its a cheap cajon, I wish the Snap in the "snare" area was a bit higher pitched then it is, But It sounds dead with tighter strings. It's good enough, and It is a Cajon. Not spectacular, But It'll work for me. Ease of Use: Nice. Value: It's worth what you pay for it. there are Many Better sounding Cajons out there, But you can make this work. The Wow Factor: It's Nice. My Blues/Rocknroll/Funk Band Can't get into a lot of places because of my full drum set. So we decided to arrange a quieter set where I'd play Cajon, Djembe and shakers in my shoes. This will work fine. Overall: I hope to not have to play cajon too often. Any upgrades will done done to the full drumset.

Style of Music: Everything, I play different stuff in different Bands.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "a great 'bang for the buck' Cajon that with some quick DIY overhauling is a very rewarding instrument!"

Sound: Like everyone else, mine sounded like crap when taken out of the box, but with some trial & error and some adjusting I got it to sound pretty decent for the price!! I got my sounding decent by doing the following... I removed the front plate and loosened the 2 adjustable nuts all the way. I adjusted the string slack to be even on BOTH sides (runs in a V shape from the nut) the string runs and re tightened the nuts while keeping the string slack even. Once tightened to preferred 'snare' resonation I then placed two single paper towel sheets folded into a square (4 ply 3"X3") and placed them on each side between the face plate and strings closest to the center rod with the length overlapping the other strings. Upon re-tightening the front plate I left the corner top and center top screw loose by about 2 whole turns for the coveted 'slap' or rimshot sound. Hope this will help someone as I could have used the help!! Enjoy! Ease of Use: Unless you don't have hands it's a breeze to use! Quality: I had to deduct here as some of the plate screw were drilled in crokked making the heads stick out when slightly loosened. The Wow Factor: for a c-note and change you can't go wrong! Overall: Until I can afford a top shelf Cajon... this will do NICELY

Style of Music: rock, reggae, jazz, latin, alternative
