Meinl Percussion Slaptop Cajon Box Drum with Internal Snares and Bass for Acoustic Music — NOT Made in China — Play with Your Hands, Baltic Birch, 2-Year Warranty (TOPCAJ1EB)

The Mein slap top Cajon are a conceptual step up to a new level. These models are designed to bring the striking surface up nearer to the player, for a more upright playing style. The sound projects forward into the audience! High and low tones as well as a snare effect are built in to the sound board.

• NO REACH ISSUES: the Meinl Slaptop Cajon puts the playing surface in your lap so you can play longer without feeling uncomfortable from leaning over; all sounds are right in front of you in a natural position
• WHY IT MATTERS: it saves your back if you can't deal with leaning down on a standard cajon; plus, it's easy to get used to if you're a new or casual player (anyone can learn in minutes)
• HOW IT WORKS: like a mini drum kit, the Baltic birch playing surface produces bass, snare, and tom/bongo tones; these sounds vary depending on where you strike with your hands (LEFT: snare, MIDDLE: bass, RIGHT: tom/bongo)
• GO DEEPER: the resonating body has a large forward-facing bass port that projects toward your audience; this gives you fuller low-end tone
• ONE TAKEAWAY: the different sounds don't bleed into each other so you have clear separation of notes; this makes your playing more expressive
• THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play alongside guitars at acoustic shows, with your praise band, in the studio, or at outdoor jams; the Baltic birch body delivers rich tone and has four silicone feet to keep it protected
• BY THE NUMBERS: it measures 14 1/2" long x 8 3/4" wide x 10" tall and weighs 7 lbs; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it's about as loud as a traditional cajon
• 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
