Meinl Percussion Jam Cajon Box Drum with Snare and Bass Tone for Acoustic Music — Made in Europe — Baltic Birch Wood, Play with Your Hands, 2-Year Warranty (JC50LBNT)

Description

This cajon is the wooden acoustic percussion instrument you sit on and play
with your hands (pronounced “kah-hone”). It’s sometimes called a beatbox or
box drum. The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon with snares is made in Europe
with 100% Baltic birch for full, resonant bass notes and crisp slap tones.
Baltic birch is special because of its naturally “EQ’d” tone with punchy low
notes, balanced highs and great projection. This wood species is also used
extensively in high-end drum set construction for players serious about sound.
Inside are two sets of coiled steel snare wires fitted against the playing
surface. These are the same type of snares found on snare drums, and they give
you a crisp tone. A sound port on the rear helps develop bass tone and is a
perfect microphone spot. Non-slip silicone 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, and its compact size is designed to
be travel friendly. Measuring 10 1/4″ wide x 15″ tall x 10 1/4″ deep, the Jam
Cajon is made for easy transport and straightforward use so that anyone can
sit down and play this instrument, regardless of skill level or age. No
musical experience required. Designed in Germany.

Features:

• LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: just sit down on it and tap with your hands to explore bass and snare drum sounds; this cajon (box drum) is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience
• WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of fun musical adventures don't require time-consuming practice on a drum set; with the Meinl Jam Cajon, you can play acoustic shows with bands, jam with friends or family, teach students about rhythm, or liven up your worship music
• BE SMART: we craft this cajon in Europe from 100% Baltic birch wood, which also used in high-end drum sets for players serious about sound; made with NO cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood
• HOW IT WORKS: the Baltic birch playing surface delivers punchy bass tone with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of fixed coiled steel snare wires that give you a crisp sound (everything comes fully assembled)
• BY THE NUMBERS: it measures 10 1/4" W x 15" H x 10 1/4" D and weighs 6lbs; its compact size is easily portable without shortchanging sound quality, and it's made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children
• ZOOM IN: a 4" port is cut into the back of the cajon for air to escape as you play, producing a richer tone; it also lets your beats project more and is a great microphone spot if needed
• THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play it anywhere from acoustic shows to outdoor jams to a dorm room; four solid silicone feet on the bottom keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
