Meinl Snarecraft Professional Cajon

This is a well built Cajon that I am sure will last decades. The snare toggle is a great design and makes this very versatile. I would have preferred a slightly deeper bass tone, but it still sounds great and there is a ton of play styles you can get out of this. I felt the price was just about perfect too for such a high quality instrument.

I wanted a cajon that would allow me to play with or without the snare. This fit the bill and it sounds fantastic. Great workmanship and the fit and finish are first class. Whether you like the sound of the snare or prefer to have the "snareless" sound that mimics a conga or bongo, you have the choice.

I have owned this cajon for over a year and do not recommend it. The wood it is constructed from is good and overall, it sounds nice. However, I've had problems with the throw off mechanism and the internal snare. About three months after I purchased it, the knob kept loosening and falling off. No matter how many times I tightened it back, it would eventually become loose again. I contacted Meinl and they replaced the cajon at no charge to me. After a few months of playing the replacement, whenever I tap the bass part of the cajon, the snare makes an annoying buzzing sound, like a rattle. Normally there is some snare sound when you hit the bass on this cajon. But this is not the normal sound, it is far louder and annoying.

I love everything about this new cajon. Sounds wonderful with brushes or your hand having a ball with it I highly recommend it The snare is great and without it it does not rattle I am totally impressed by this

This is my first Cajon and I am very pleased. Sounds great and the whole family loves to play it. I would 100% buy again!!

Great sound! Great seller! Not sure I would recommend this particular model box drum, however. I like the "idea" of the foot pedal for snare on/off, but for me it's not useful often enough to warrant the hassle of its ankle-biter location on the drum, not to mention the fact that it clearly will eventually chew its way through the gig bag I bought. (Just sayin'...) Otherwise, I freaking LOVE my new toy!!!

Got it for my grandson for Christmas. The whole family took turns throughout Christmas day. Sounds great!

I bought this cajon for my husband after doing some research comparing different ones. He absolutely loves this! He has a nice Pearl drum set and enjoys playing. But this instrument is easy to pick up, carry and play anywhere!

Un acierto como regalo en Navidad para jóvenes y no tan jóvenes que disfruten con la música. Suena de maravilla como cajón flamenco u otros estilos de música. Fácil de transportar y de guardar en casa. Buena calidad y precio razonable, deberían regalar la bolsa para protegerlo y transportarlo y ya sería perfecto.

The fact that you can switch the snares off is brilliant and you get a completely different sounding instrument, 2 in 1!! XOXO

Questo cajon ha un suono a mio avviso molto bello, i musicisti con i quali sto suonando dicono lo stesso. Comodo da usare, é un po' più grande degli altri avendo anche la possibilità di inserire la cordiera del rullante tramite pedale sulla sinistra che tra l'altro è molto comodo e robusto. ha giù incluso il tappetino antiscivolo sulla seduta. Insomma un cajon a cui non manca proprio nulla. Unico neo: la custodia. Bisogna prendere la sua perché è a misura ed è anche essa una custodia al top! ultraimbottita.

Alles war okay

this cajon has great deep bass and the snare adjustment pedal works perfectly...you can adjust it to the your style and liking.... great buy
