Meinl HCAJ1NT Headliner cajon

Allmänt

The Meinl HCAJ1NT is part of Meinl's Headliner series of cajons. It's a hand percussion instrument that is a great alternative to a drum kit, when you have to play an unplugged gig. This cajon is well-suited for flamenco and world music, but of course you can use it for wide variety of genres. The Headliner cajon is built in the traditional way, which is clearly apparent from its sound. Its body and front plate are made of high-quality rubberwood, and both feature a matte finish.

The sizzle effect

When you sit down on this cajon and slap the frontplate with your hands, or even your heels, you create tones that resonate throughout the body. These are then picked up by the strings of the built-in String Mute System, creating the aptly named sizzle effect, which adds a snare sound to the sound created by the frontplate. After that, the sound can escape through the Sound Port Ring on the back of the cajon.

Comfort

This Headliner cajon comes complete with an Allen key so you can adjust the instrument's front plate and snare wires to suit your preference. Finally, the bottom is fitted with special rubber feet that protect the bottom of the cajón from being damaged, and prevent the sound from being distorted by direct contact with the ground.
