Your cart is empty.MEINL Headliner Series Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at an affordable price and can be played with Flamenco or World Music. They are also very useful during unplugged gigs for delivering the rhythmic foundation for a whole band when a full drum set cannot be used. These Rubber Wood cajons feature an internal system of strings that span from the top to the bottom of the playing surface to deliver a sensitive rattle that acts as a snare effect. The strings are fully adjustable for different tastes. Simply tighten or loosen the two screws at the bottom of the cajon with the allen wrench provided to find your characteristic voice. A deep and boomy American White Ash frontplate provides the basis for rich sound development. This durable playing surface delivers a full bass spectrum, cutting snare slaps, and responds beautifully to soft finger rolls, giving you precise dynamic control. The top corners of the frontplate are adjustable by tightening or loosening the screws - another feature from Meinl that allows you to completely customize your style. This will alter the distance between the frontplate corner and cajon body, resulting in a varied amount of "slap" sound. The resonating body has solid construction and excellent tonal qualities that broaden your bass notes and focus your rolls and corner hits to take your beats to the next level, leaving you feeling inspired to play more. Meinl Headliner Series Cajons are ideal for any skill level and musician. From praise and worship services and theatrical productions to rock ‘n roll shows and small coffee house sets, their versatility is unmatched. If you are a guitar player and wish to add a little pulse to your music, gently striking the frontplate with the back of your heel generates a superb low end punch. Their wide range of sounds, ease of use and musicality make these cajons more than capable to integrate into your main act, live or in the studio.

Sono un principiante, questo è il mio primo cajon e devo dire che sono rimasto molto contento. I materiali e le rifiniture sono ottime e i suoni sono puliti e ben distinti tra di loro. C'è anche la possibilità di regolare a proprio piacimento la cordiera interna. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Prodotto della Meinl di ottima qualità, esteticamente molto bello. Buono il suono e comodissima la seduta morbida antiscivolo. Il Cajon è lo strumento ideale per simulare il suono della batteria. Non necessita di cavi ne' di batterie. Si può suonare dove e quando si vuole. Ci vuole un po' di tempo ed impegno per imparare a suonarlo correttamente ma quanta soddisfazione e divertimento... Davvero un ottimo prodotto. Spedizione veloce. Consigliato!

This cajon has provided me with lots of fun for about four years now. I have been playing off and on during that time. It gets a lot of attention, and even though the instrument is more popular than it was 4 years ago, it still gets a lot of attention and raises a lot of questions.In general, the cajon is great for smaller gigs where a full drumset would be too overpowering. I have played this in three different churches and have gotten great feedback. If you are a gigging drummer or playing at different venues, this is exponentially easier to travel with than a drumset (and sturdier too). The cajon is also a good instrument for acoustic sets and praise bands/church bands.It has taken this particular cajon some time to truly work into its tone, but much like an acoustic guitar, the more I play it, the better it sounds. The wood just becomes more and more resonant. For $100, you can't beat it, well, I guess you do beat it since it's a drum (sorry for the bad pun).The design of a cajon is naturally sturdy, and this holds up very well. I have not been gentle with this instrument over the four years that I have had it and it shows almost no wear and tear at all. It has been dropped from about shoulder height with no damage at all. I let my kids and the kids at church play it and they are not gentle. And there's another story that's just too horrifying to tell (which includes my truck), but through it all, this little beast has been super sturdy. It still shows almost no wear and tear at all. It may not have the top quality cajon sound, but let's be real...it's $100! I have not found myself needing better sound.

I'm extremely happy with my Meinl Percussion cajon! I've been a percussionist and a multi-instrumentalist composer/arranger for close to 40 years. Recently, through becoming acquainted with the work of vocalist Susana Baca, I also learned that the cajon is fundamental to Afro-Peruvian music. The cajon is, in fact, a wooden box with a sound-hole opening. I think that most percussionists have had a time when we ran into a cardboard box that offered an interesting variety of percussive tones to explore and we then spent some amount of time exploring those tones and constructing rhythms from them. Basically, we made improvised music on a cardboard box. Well, I'm going to tell you that playing the cajon is very similar to playing that cardboard box, only it's made to be a durable enough instrument so that it can be sat upon as its normal playing position. I will not suggest to you that the cajon is an "easy" instrument to play. Just sitting on this thing, slapping it, is going to be annoying to most people who hear it, because some of the tones are quite loud and rumbling if they're not moderated in a musical manner and application. For a reasonably musically astute,committed explorer of rhythms, I believe that this cajon offers an interesting and diverse range of tones and textures. I've already gained audience appreciation on my very first day of owning my cajon and I look forward to developing my facility on this instrument for the rest of my days. I have not played other cajons, so I'm not able to compare this one to any other. Also, I am not experience, as yet, on the cajon in particular. I'm a guy who beats on things to extract sounds and create rhythmic patterns with those sounds. My Meinl Percussion cajon seems to me to be thoughtfully well-built and I have fun exploring its many tones. I'm well-satisfied with my investment and look forward to continued growth.

Just arrived and its sounds great. The delivery was super quick and was suprised to see it turn up on a sunday.Unrapped it and played it straight out the box. I had searched around and read reviews on many different models. I even watch youtube to hear them. I chose this one as I like the sound and a lot of people said that for the money it is one of the better around, and their not wrong.

Easy to tune, easy to learn.. My wife got this for the praise and worship team and this unit is impressive. Can be used for alot of different music and can achieve great drum and cymbal sounds. This so easy to use at outdoor events or when we go to a different venue and cant take the drums. We use this at church and we just love it. Got the carrier too. NiceUPDATE 10-02-16. We have had this for about two years now and the wood on this has weathered really well and I have to say that it is well constructed. Even being sat on and used and pounded on it still looks brand new if you keep clean and give it TLC. Would purchase again. I hope this had been helpful to you. Thank you
