Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum with Internal Strings for Snare Effect, Natural — NOT Made in China — 100% Baltic Birch, Woodcraft Series, 2-Year Warranty, WC100B — Open-Box, 5% Off

DREAM FOR DRUMMERS: it takes no time to set up, and you get the same kick and snare sounds as a drum set at a fraction of the volume; play with your hands toward the center to get the deepest tone and near the top corners for crisp snare effects

WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of musical settings don't allow for the space or volume level of full drums; with the Meinl Woodcraft Cajon, you can fully engage during acoustic shows with your band, jam sessions, or with your praise band without taking over

BE SMART: we craft this cajon 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 with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of fixed custom micro-coiled steel cajon strings that give you a crisp snare sound

ZOOM IN: the corners of the playing surface are rounded and sanded together with the resonating body so you get defined slap tones; it's perfectly flush where these two pieces meet to feel great on your hands

BY THE NUMBERS: measures 11 3/4" W x 19 3/4" H x 12" D and weighs 8 lbs; 7-ply (9 mm) Baltic birch body

THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play alongside guitars at acoustic shows, with worship music, in the studio, or at outdoor jams; four solid silicone feet 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
