Meinl Artisan String Cajon with Limba Frontplate / Baltic Birch Body - MADE IN SPAIN - Tango Line, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

Meinl's Tango line of artisan Cajons boasts a unique design that sets them apart. These Cajons feature two sets of three pre-tuned metal micro-coiled strings that span the inside of the playing surface, creating a crisp snare effect. These strings are hand-wound in the style of master Cajon builder, José "Peyote" Hernández Diaz.

The attention to detail is evident in the Tango Cajons. The rounded corners and thumb notches on the top of the front plate and resonating body optimize playing comfort and sound. The 7-ply, 9mm thick Baltic Birch body develops a full, punchy tone that projects with clarity and warmth. Available with limba or light eucalyptus finish front plates, these Cajons are true masterpieces.

What sets these Cajons apart is the level of craftsmanship and expertise that goes into their production. Handmade in Spain by renowned luthier Jose 'Pepote' Hernandez Diaz, these Cajons are far from mass-produced. Each one is a unique piece, crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Pepote is a master Cajon craftsman, with years of experience and experimentation under his belt. He has tested countless wood combinations and varnishes, created a special unbreakable snare string, and designed baffles and pop filters – all in pursuit of the perfect Cajon sound.

The tonewoods used in the Tango Cajons are carefully selected to deliver a rich, punchy, and balanced tone. The 7-ply Baltic Birch body is a material commonly used in high-end drum set construction, favored by players who are serious about sound quality.

The snare sound of the Tango Cajons is a particular point of pride. Two fixed sets of three custom, hand-wound micro-coiled steel Cajon strings span the front plate, creating a beautifully lush snare tone. These strings are pre-tuned, ensuring a sensitive touch that won't require adjustment.

The ergonomic design of the Tango Cajons is also noteworthy. The rounded corners and thumb notches on the top of the front plate and resonating body allow for exceptional hand contact and more comfortable playing.

Durability is another key feature of these Cajons. Four silicone feet keep the instrument stable on any surface, protecting it from vibrations and preserving its crystal-clear sound quality.

In summary, the Meinl Tango Cajons are a true testament to the art of Cajon making. Handcrafted in Spain by a master luthier, these instruments are designed to be appreciated for their exceptional sound, feel, response, look, and durability. They are sure to serve their owners for many years to come.
