A Tempo Percussion El Artesano Cajon (with Gig Bag)

No longer available at zZounds
A masterpiece crafted by artisans from select pieces of solid mohena, American muskwood and tropical walnut, this cajon offers a unique sonic balance.

A TEMPO Percussion's El Artesano Cajon is made in Peru, considered by most to be the birthplace of the cajon as an instrument. The body of this cajon is made from select pieces of solid Mohena, American Muskwood and Tropical Walnut with a multi-ply Spanish Cedar and Lupuna playing surface and resonant side. El Artesano Cajon features snare wires designed and placed to reduce their sound when playing the bass tone without sacrificing any snap on a slap tone. The result is a cajon that balances the best sonic characteristics of both a traditional cajon and a Flamenco cajon.

Features:

- El Artesano is a cajon that balances the best sonic characteristics of both a traditional cajon and a Flamenco cajon. It has a warm, booming bass as well as a snappy slap tone.
- To achieve this balance, this cajon features snare wires designed and placed to reduce their sound when playing the bass tone without sacrificing any snap on a slap tone.

- Crafted by hand in Peru.

This is my first cajon.. I figured I would take advantage of the Play As You Pay and buy one of the more expensive drums.. I definitely got what I paid for.. The drum sounds awesome and you can tell by handling it that it is not cheap made. I also bought it for the reason that it is made in Peru, where cajons originate from.

Musical Background:

Started playing drums in the 90's.. Getting back into it.. Been messing with guitars for a few years

Musical Style:

Anything 90's rock
