You dont want to compromise on your music
Forget about assembly belt and mass production
A great sound isnt everything. Your instrument must feel like it is a part of you - and this feeling of connection is often further enhanced by handmade custom designs.
We cooperate with Spanish cajon master José Hernández Diaz (known as "Pepote") to build Meinl Artisan Edition Cajons together with us. Pepote is an exceptionally talented artisan and musician whose craftsmanship enhances the cajon in a way you may not know it was possible.
We thought a lot about wood combinations, the strings individually adjusted and shaped the body for a spectacular feel. With Pepote, we have developed a series of cajons that embody the spirit of craftsmanship.
The Meinl Artisan Edition Tango Line Cajon
Resonant body
For the body of the cajon, we have used 7-ply (9 mm) Baltic birch wood, which is equipped with inserts. Baltic birch is often used in high-end drum sets as it offers a focused sound with a large range of tones.
Striking surface
The beautiful Limba front plate has a textured surface for an improved playing feel,
from finger rolls and ghost notes to strong backbeats.
The feeling of playing is important
Its a fantastic feeling when you sit on this cajon and get a feeling of the depth of sound and the incredibly detailed craftsmanship - with just a simple finger stroke on the front plate.
