Meinl Percussion Full Size Hardwood String Cajon for Adjustable Snare Effect 2-YEAR WARRANTY (HCAJ1NT)
The MEINL Headliner Series Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at an affordable price and can be used in 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 can’t be used.
Product Features
- PERFECT FOR CREATING DRUMSET GROOVES: Support any style of music in a live or studio setting with bass and snare drum sounds from the Meinl Headliner Series Hardwood String Cajon (measures 11 3/4″ wide x 12″ deep x 18″ tall). The playing surface has two different zones for bass and snare sounds. Playing towards the center of the cajon creates deep bass; striking the top corners gives you a crisp slap tone like a snare drum.
- HARDWOOD BODY AND PLAYING SURFACE: The solid hardwood body with thick rubber feet has excellent tonal qualities that broaden your bass notes and focus your rolls and corner hits to take your beats to the next level. The deep and punchy frontplate provides the basis for rich sound development. This durable playing surface delivers a full bass spectrum, cutting snare slaps, and responds to soft finger rolls.
- ADJUSTABLE TOP CORNERS AND INTERNAL STRINGS: Adjustable metal strings span against the inside of the playing surface to add a snare sound and are tuned from the bottom of the cajon (hex key included inside). To alter the amount of “slap” sound from corner hits, the screws located closest to the top corners may be loosed or tightened to vary the amount of gap between the playing surface and cajon body.
- REAR PORT IDEAL FOR MIC PLACEMENT: A rear sound port is cut into the back of the resonating body to allow air to escape from the cajon as you play it. This results in enhanced tonal qualities and overall feel. This is an ideal spot to place a microphone when amplification is needed.
- OFFICIAL TWO YEAR MEINL WARRANTY: All Meinl cajons carry a two year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased from authorized retailers

Great Entry Level Cajon I bought this Cajon because it was inexpensive and I wanted an instrument but did not need a professional $500 cajon. I am not a percussionist but I am a musician. I have played Guitar, harmonica, conga, recorder, trumpet and various other instruments as a music minister at my local church since 1980. The instrument is not flashy or decorative but it works as…
Doesn’t fit the JC50LBNT Birch Wood Compact Jam Cajon I bought the Direct Drive Pedal to go with the Meinl Percussion JC50LBNT Birch Wood Compact Jam Cajon that I bought, which measures 10.2 x 10.2 x 15 inches. The back clamp on the pedal won’t quite reach the back of the Cajon to hold it in place. The screw needs to be a 1/4″ longer to accommodate it (See photo). Also, I had to turn the beater upside down to hit the bottom of the Cajon as it was too tall even at it’s lowest and hitting the top of the Cajon(see Photo). I may end up returning…
Great sound – low quality Bought this together with a MEINL cajon, and played my first gig last night. First off, I love it. It sounds great, and makes it really easy to add some extra dynamics to a gig where you are just playing a cajon, e.g. you can use the tambourine for emphasis later in the song as it crescendos or whatever. Definitely helped give our acoustic set a fuller sound.That said, unfortunately as some others have indicated, it fell apart midway through my first set. The metal pieces are…
