For beginners and home improvement

It must be said clearly that the building not so easy designed as Meinl it suggests in the product description. Not only will it takes a certain amount of tools, but also experience in dealing with it. Especially does it manifest itself when gluing, where the necessary fixation of the parts must be paid by domestic agents hardly. Force in such a size and in any event do not exist (were also previously never misses), and tension belts as a substitute we had to first muster I would not say that it is making it ideal went out of hand.

The necessary correction loop then is also no great pleasure if you just want to quickly come to a conclusion one must somehow like to savor it. For experienced and enthusiastic handyman So all this is to create good, otherwise wait minor frustrations. Well, this one has upon successful completion of a pretty good Cajon at a price which would not be sufficient for a finished product. And of course there is also a special feeling to play on a box that you yourself assembled.

As for the sound: It is not outstanding, I had not expected, but okay. I usually play on a La Peru of percussion, which is of course a different caliber. Especially the bass you realize that such a deep, dry clay in such a price range is not going to get. The high notes at the edge oppose it fully satisfied. The snare and its positioning I had a little play around until I had the sound that met my expectation.

Overall, this is a nice entry-Cajon for people with at least a right hand, who want to spend more time than money. For more ambitious musicians, it is rather a recommendation.
