Meinl BCA1SNT Bongo Cajon
The Meinl Bongo Cajon is two instruments in one -- it looks like a cajon, but its wide playing surface yields high and low tones just like a set of bongos.

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.
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.
Features
Not many features, it's a wooden box, looks like a small step stool, but I wouldn't suggest using it as one.
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.
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.
Manufacturer Support
No.
The Wow Factor
Just a rectangular box.
Musical Background:
Off and on musician for years.
Musical Style:
Up for anything.
