Description

Meinl Percussion

This Meinl Artisan Edition pickup cajon is part of the Soleá-Line; a range that features a number of striking, limited edition models. It boasts a unique, dark olive burst finish on the front plate, helping it to stand out from its more traditional counterparts.

Cajon Master

Inside the playing surface, you’ll find two sets of four, pre-tuned, micro-coiled steel strings created especially for cajon. They’ve been hand-wound, influenced by the personal crafting style of master cajon builder, Jose Hernandez Diaz. This is paired with an innovative bass reflex system. It works by enhancing the instruments lower end, in turn producing a far deeper and richer bass sound.

Piezo Pickup

An onboard Piezo pickup utilises dedicated volume and tone controls located on the external housing. This is particularly ideal for those live shows where amplification is required. You’ll also be able to connect to a PA system or amp thanks to a quarter-inch cable port.

These tones are improved further due to the Baltic Birch construction. It brings a welcome warmth, resonance and punch which is projected with impressive clarity.

Percussion

Percussion covers a wide and diverse family of instruments that create sound through being struck, shaken, or scraped. It includes everything from drum kits and hand drums to auxiliary instruments such as shakers, tambourines, cowbells, blocks, and mallet percussion. Percussion adds rhythm, texture, and colour to music across virtually every genre.

Hand percussion instruments like congas, bongos, djembes, and cajons are played using the hands or simple techniques, while auxiliary percussion is often added to drum kits to expand rhythmic and tonal options. Mallet percussion, such as xylophones and similar instruments, introduces melody as well as rhythm, broadening the musical role percussion can play.

Percussion is used in live performance, studio recording, education, and therapy, making it one of the most versatile areas of music making. Whether providing subtle rhythmic detail or driving the main groove, percussion instruments allow players to shape feel, dynamics, and expression in ways that support and enhance the music.

Cajon

A cajon is a box-shaped percussion instrument that produces bass and snare-like sounds using hand technique. It allows players to create rhythm, groove, and dynamic variation in a compact, acoustic format, often replacing or complementing a drum kit. Cajons provide low-end thump, sharp backbeat accents, and subtle textures, making them ideal for acoustic performances, small venues, and stripped-back musical settings.
