Meinl Percussion BC1NTWR Baltic Birch Wood Cafe Snare Cajon with FREE Bag, Wine Red Finish
The Meinl Percussion Cafe Cajon with FREE gig bag is constructed of dense hardwood for full, resonant bass notes and crisp slap tones. An internal snare system is fitted against the inside of the playing surface to add a sizzle effect, mimicking the sound of a snare drum. The front plate in wine red finish responds well to finger rolls as well as corner slaps and bass hits, giving you optimal dynamic control. When played towards the center, the solid natural finish resonating body accompanies the playing surface by broadening your bass notes to achieve a deep and punchy sound, reacting much like a kick drum. Non-slip rubber feet allow the body to resonate to its fullest while providing stability. This instrument is ideal for acoustic gigs when a full drum kit cannot be used. The FREE Meinl standard Cajon gig bag protects your Cajon and provides hassle free transportation. The heavy duty stitching and carrying grip ensures that your Cajon is protected while on the road to the gig or studio. Store your instrument inside the bag to protect against dirt, dust, and moisture. The portability of the Meinl Cafe Cajon with bag makes it easy for musicians to integrate into their main act, on stage or in the studio.

Lightweight and rich sound! Purchased this cajon to be played in a church band. The cajon itself is lightweight which is good since it is frequently moved about.

Little force is needed to create a rich loud boom. Needless to say, the carrying case that it comes with is incredibly useful for transporting it while protecting it from the…
Comfortable, Sounds Great, Long Lasting, What’s to Not Like… I’ve been using one of these for many years, and when it finally began leaking the beads, I bought another.
