Meinl Percussion Cajon (PWCP100MB)

So I just discovered what a cajon is... So take this review with a grain of salt. It was very nicely packaged, no damage clean. I'm a shorter person (5'3") and I can sit on it comfortably and play. I think it sounds great. One of the reasons that I bought this model was because it seemed to have more range in terms of tones. I watched a couple of videos on how to play it and so far so good. The hardest part is learning to keep good posture. So if you're a beginner I don't think you'll be disappointed. I bought the one that had the pickups, and those work fine. Of course, the quality of your amp will determine the quality of sound to a certain degree. I jam with friends and I don't plug it in half the time and it's heard. Very happy with my purchase.

Very nice cajon perfect sound

So easy to just plug and play right out of the box. I was tired of having to mic my original Cajon, and the mix sounded different all the time. This Cajon with built in pickup has made it super easy to just plug in and trust that the sound quality will be there. Definitely worth the money!

I bought and returned this due to entire Cajon face plate vibrates the snare. Personal choice, but I have a 2 snare Meinl that I bought several months ago and it did not have the entire face plate snare vibration. Just be careful and note there are differences to the snares sound. Meinl makes a great product so nothing against this model. It was just not the sound I wanted.

I like how this is made and how it looks. Decent, sturdy quality.The snare doesn't sound so punchy as I expect to hear. I expect thus is because I need to practice to get the best tone. I love how many different doinds and tones it can produce.I've plugged it into a bass amp and the sound is nicely muted - meaning it doesn't overpower, but rather has a more gentle accoustic tone. Perfect for what I see as the ideal use case - an accoustic set, not a rock band!
