Sono un principiante, questo è il mio primo cajon e devo dire che sono rimasto molto contento. I materiali e le rifiniture sono ottime e i suoni sono puliti e ben distinti tra di loro. C'è anche la possibilità di regolare a proprio piacimento la cordiera interna. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

This cajon has provided me with lots of fun for about four years now. I have been playing off and on during that time. It gets a lot of attention, and even though the instrument is more popular than it was 4 years ago, it still gets a lot of attention and raises a lot of questions. In general, the cajon is great for smaller gigs where a full drumset would be too overpowering. I have played this in three different churches and have gotten great feedback. If you are a gigging drummer or playing at different venues, this is exponentially easier to travel with than a drumset (and sturdier too). The cajon is also a good instrument for acoustic sets and praise bands/church bands. It has taken this particular cajon some time to truly work into its tone, but much like an acoustic guitar, the more I play it, the better it sounds. The wood just becomes more and more resonant. For $100, you can't beat it, well, I guess you do beat it since it's a drum (sorry for the bad pun). The design of a cajon is naturally sturdy, and this holds up very well. I have not been gentle with this instrument over the four years that I have had it and it shows almost no wear and tear at all. It has been dropped from about shoulder height with no damage at all. I let my kids and the kids at church play it and they are not gentle. And there's another story that's just too horrifying to tell (which includes my truck), but through it all, this little beast has been super sturdy. It still shows almost no wear and tear at all. It may not have the top quality cajon sound, but let's be real...it's $100! I have not found myself needing better sound.

This is my first Cajon and I did not want to dig to deep. I've recently returned to drumming and didn't know much about Cajons. I read a few reviews on here, watched some youtube clips and Meinl seemed the best option. Base tone is pretty reasonable and snare is adjustable to personal preference. I did modify the top left corner of the tappa to create more of a slap sound and I am now really pleased with it. I recommend looking on youtube to see how to modify as I did. All you need is a screwdriver and a couple of bit of card. No woodwork skills needed. Good for the price, though I wouldn't spend more for what is basically a wooden box. If you don't need a Cajon immediately there is lot's of advice out there on how to make one.

Je suis probablement tombé sur un article défectueux, car les cordes à l'intérieur font un bruit épouvantable, loin de ce qu'on peut entendre sur youtube. J'ai bien essayé de régler l'appareil, mais cela n'a pas changé grand chose. Je suis habitué aux percussions mais c'était mon premier cajon. Vraiment déçu pour le coup. La marque a pourtant bonne réputation.
