## 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.

Review: Small but great drum box! - This is a great little drum box. I love the colors and the feel of the wood. It is lightweight, making it great for travel, but you can really feel the quality of the construction. Even though it's a small box, it produces some great quality sound. I have used it mostly in jam sessions at home, but it has never been drowned out by the other voices or instruments. There is plenty of drumming surface for both base and snare sounds. I am about 5'5", and I feel very comfortable on this cajon, but it is smaller than typical ones. The usual size is a bit larger than this, so if you are much taller than I am, you may prefer a regular-sized cajon rather than this smaller one. I love the compact size and sound quality of this little drum box. Highly recommend!!!!
Review: A steal - This is a cool instrument. I have very little experience with cajon(es?) but wanted to give one a go, so I ordered this on a whim. For the price I don't think you could possibly go wrong. It has a medium-depth bass tone and a convincing snare. There's enough play on the surface where you can vary the tone a bit by moving your hand positions around. I live in an apartment and you can activate the snare while playing fairly quietly, but you can also really get some volume out of it by letting loose. You can also get a nice clacky sound from the side panels - I don't know what drum it would correspond with. Maybe a snare with the rattle disengaged. My biggest concern is that the cajon itself is very lightweight. It holds my body weight but I'm only about 130 pounds. It would definitely hold a bigger person without breaking but I am also worried about bumping it against hard items and stuff because I don't think the wood would resist much damage. At 5'9" I am probably on the upper end of those who can sit on the box without feeling like they are doing some deep squatting. On the bright side, the lightness means it is very easy to carry without getting tired or feeling awkward (that's why it's a "jam" cajon, right?). It's an attractive piece, too, and I would be perfectly happy displaying it / leaving it out in a room. There aren't too many instruments that offer such a fantastic price-to-versatility ratio, so if you're waffling, just go ahead and enjoy this.

## Features

- LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: just sit down on it and tap the front with your hands to create bass and snare sounds—no experience needed; a perfect instrument for building the confidence to play percussion
- WHY IT MATTERS: there are fun musical settings that don’t require endless practice on a complicated instrument; use the Meinl Jam Cajon for acoustic shows, jamming with friends, teaching rhythm, or worship teams
- BE SMART: made in Europe with 100% Baltic birch (also used in high-end drum sets for players serious about sound); no cheap, glued-on laminates here
- HAS SNARES: two fixed sets of steel snare wires add crisp, snappy tones for versatile sound
- OF NOTE: a 4" rear sound port strengthens tone and projection; it’s also an ideal spot for mic placement
- LOOKING UNDERNEATH: silicone feet stabilize the cajon, protect it, and eliminate vibrations for crystal-clear sound; safe on any surface (wood, laminate, carpet, brick, concrete)
- SIZE: 10.25" W x 15" H x 10.25" D, 6 lbs—compact, portable, and durable; built to last with a solid frame for adults and kids
- THE TAKEAWAY: a European made, portable, durable cajon with punchy bass and crisp snare; perfect for all skill levels and settings—from acoustic gigs to dorm room jams

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a weight limit on this product?  I weigh close to 300 lbs and want to be sure it could support my weight.**
A: I believe there is a weight limit, but don't know what it is off hand. Should have that info in the product description. It is NOT a full size Cajon.

**Q: Are the snare wires supposed to be covered with a fabric or is that something put on there for shipping.  I'm wondering if it would be a little loud ?**
A: The fabric is simply to preserve the snare wires and give the cajon a tighter response.

**Q: would this be good for an 11 year old boy**
A: Yes , I bought it for my 15 year old daughter. It's very sturdy, but vey good quality .

**Q: Does it really take 1-2 months?**
A: We received ours within days.
