Meinl are a German company known for their cymbals and assorted percussion, including an excellent range of cajons.
Cajons originally came from Peru but then spread to South America, especially popular in Cuban music and subsequently all over the world. A cajon is a wooden box that is played by sitting on it and using your hands or sometimes brushes to hit it. A series of metal wires – very much like those found on a traditional snare drum add a snare like sound to add the the wooden box’s more bass drum-like sound.
They are often used in Western music to accompany singer-songwriters when percussion is required, but a drumkit is overkill.
WOODCRAFT PROFESSIONAL SERIES
Built from Baltic birch wood and outfitted with specially wound metal strings that span the inside of the playing surface, MEINL Woodcraft Professional cajons deliver well-defined snare and bass sounds. The birch construction with 12mm thick body allows players to dig in with plenty of attack and a warm tone. Internal fixed metal strings add a crisp and sensitive snare effect that makes it easy to produce deep back beats and articulate finger rolls. The elegant mahogany and makah-burl frontplate finish options add striking aesthetics as well. Rounded corners on the playing surface offer total comfort while maximizing your touch.
