Meinl Percussion Bongo Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares – NOT MADE IN CHINA – Ebony Black Playing Surface and Hardwood Body, 2-YEAR WARRANTY Natural (BCA2NT/EBK-M
The MEINL Snare Bongo Cajon is a compact cajon with high and low pitched areas similar to a bongo, but with a woody cajon sound. The Snare Bongo Cajon follows the traditional Flamenco style: A warm sound punctuated with a built-in snare mechanism. The angled wedge shape of the body makes it ergonomic and comfortable to play. It can be held between the knees, like in the traditional bongo technique. The environmentally sustainable Rubber Wood has outstanding resonating acoustic properties and is structurally durable. A smooth ebony surface covers the playing area for optimal comfort and sound. Included on this bongo cajon are small silicon rubber feet to keep the instrument from slipping on smooth surfaces.

Feels and Sounds GREAT! This is the first Cajon product as well as first Meinl product I have ever owned. I am very happy with my purchase! I have only had this for a few days but I am already driving my roomates crazy! Haha.I think the biggest feature that sold me is the idea that you are not required to tune this Bonog Cajon as you would traditional bongos. I am more of a hobbyist and never liked the idea of taking time to fine tune a hand drum. Another positive note is the “head” is really nice…
What a fun and affordable way to make some great sounds I recently saw a band play at a local bar and the drummer was using a standard, full sized cajon. I was impressed with the great sounds that he was able to get out of a wooden box. He even let me play it a little after they were done with their set (although I have never really played the drums at all). I went right home and searched for one on Amazon.After looking at a lot of great cajons I settled on this item. First, I liked the price; if it ended up in my closet I wouldn’t…
This drum, some other options, and some playing tips for different sounds. Does this drum sound like a real set of bongo drums? Apart from having higher and lower tones.. no.Does it sound as good as some of the demos of this product you’ll find on youtube? No. In some of those demonstrations, there is at least one really good microphone placed nearby, and the drum sounds better mic’d.Does this product sound at least as good as the Latin Percussion equivalent of this drum? Yes, although the LP version does not have snares if I remember…
