This Solea line Artisan Edition cajon comes in stately dark olive burst. When amplification is needed, inside the cajon is a passive Piezo pickup system with tone and volume control knobs on the side panel. A quarter-inch cable jack allows you to send your signal through any amp or PA system (cables not included). Additionally, this cajon is equipped with a quarter-inch “link” jack where can link other Meinl passive pickup instruments through this cajon's system and control their output with the cajon's dials. Great for eliminating the need for additional amps or outputs to minimize your setup. Solea line Artisan Edition cajons feature two groupings of four pre-tuned custom hand-wound steel cajon strings that span across the inside of the playing surface for a beautifully responsive snare effect. An internal bass reflex system re-directs sound waves inside the cajon to elongate low end frequency. This gives the frequencies more time to develop inside the body of the cajon, resulting in an enhanced bass tone with plenty of thud. The exquisite Baltic birch playing surface is rounded at the corners and sanded down to form thumb notches where your hands lay in their natural position. This gives you exceptional contact with the cajon along with more comfort. The 9-ply, 12mm thick Baltic birch resonating body develops the sound into a full, punchy tone that projects with clarity and warmth. This cajon measures 11 ¼” W x 19” H x 11 ¾” D. Made in Spain by master luthier, Jose “Pepote” Hernandez Diaz.
HANDMADE IN SPAIN Meinl Artisan Edition Cajons are hand-crafted masterpieces built in Spain by renown luthier Jose 'Pepote' Hernandez Diaz; no big assembly lines here—only highly skilled small batch construction with the finest wood selections
WHY IT MATTERS Pepote is a master cajon craftsman; he's tested countless wood combinations and varnishes, created a special unbreakable snare string, designed baffles and pop filters—the list goes on; everything he does revolves around chasing the best
TONEWOODS USED a 9-ply Baltic birch body and Baltic birch frontplate deliver rich, punchy, and balanced tone; Solea Line Artisan Cajons are also equipped with a curved Baltic birch baffle by the sound port for deeper bass notes
DRIVING THE SNARE SOUND spanning the frontplate inside are two fixed sets of five custom, hand wound micro-coiled steel cajon strings for a beautifully lush snare tone; they're pre-tuned to create a sensitive touch and won't require adjustment
FACTORY INSTALLED PICKUPS comes with three internal Piezo pickups that let you control volume and tone through a PA system or amplifier; turn up your sound in any venue and dial-in your tone
ZOOM IN the cajon is rounded at the corners and sanded down to form thumb notches where your hands lay in their natural playing position; this gives you exceptional hand contact with more comfort
LOOKING UNDERNEATH four silicone feet keep the cajon stable on any surface (wood, laminate, carpet, brick, concrete); these feet protect the cajon while eliminating vibrations to preserve the instrument's crystal-clear sound quality
BY THE NUMBERS 11 1/4" W x 11 3/4" D x 19" H
