Stained American White Ash Headliner Series Cajons Meinl

MEINL Headliner Series Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at an affordable price and can be played with Flamenco or World Music. They are also very useful during unplugged gigs for delivering the rhythmic foundation for a whole band when a full drum set cannot be used. These Rubber Wood cajons feature an internal system of strings that span from the top to the bottom of the playing surface to deliver a sensitive rattle that acts as a snare effect. The strings are fully adjustable for different tastes. Simply tighten or loosen the two screws at the bottom of the cajon with the allen wrench provided to find your characteristic voice. A deep and boomy American White Ash frontplate provides the basis for rich sound development. This durable playing surface delivers a full bass spectrum, cutting snare slaps, and responds beautifully to soft finger rolls, giving you precise dynamic control. The top corners of the frontplate are adjustable by tightening or loosening the screws – another feature from Meinl that allows you to completely customize your style. This will alter the distance between the frontplate corner and cajon body, resulting in a varied amount of “slap” sound. The resonating body has solid construction and excellent tonal qualities that broaden your bass notes and focus your rolls and corner hits to take your beats to the next level, leaving you feeling inspired to play more. Meinl Headliner Series Cajons are ideal for any skill level and musician. From praise and worship services and theatrical productions to rock ‘n roll shows and small coffee house sets, their versatility is unmatched. If you are a guitar player and wish to add a little pulse to your music, gently striking the frontplate with the back of your heel generates a superb low end punch. Their wide range of sounds, ease of use and musicality make these cajons more than capable to integrate into your main act, live or in the studio.

DREAM FOR DRUMMERS: it takes no time to set up, and you get the same kick and snare sounds as a drum set at a fraction of the volume; play with your hands toward the center to get the deepest tone and near the top corners for crisp snare effects
WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of musical settings don’t allow for the space or volume level of full drums; with the Meinl Headliner Cajon, you can engage fully during acoustic shows with your band, jam sessions, or with your praise band without taking over
BE SMART: the playing surface is 100% American white ash wood, and it delivers clear sound full of warm mids, crisp highs and deep low-end tone; made with NO cheap, glued-on, plasticky laminates that only look like wood
HOW IT WORKS: the ash wood playing surface delivers punchy bass with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of adjustable micro-coiled steel cajon strings that give you a crisp snare sound (tuning key included)
HOW TO ADJUST STRINGS: we include a hex key that you can use to tighten or loosen the two screws on the bottom of the cajon (between the two front feet); tighten the screws for more definition and loosen them for a lax snare effect
BY THE NUMBERS: the Meinl Headliner Cajon measures 11 3/4″ W x 18″ H x 12 1/4″ D and weighs 10 lbs; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it’s made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children
THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play alongside guitars at acoustic shows, with worship music, in the studio, or at outdoor jams; four solid silicone feet keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface
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
