About this item

  • OUR BIGGEST AND BASSIEST CAJON: its heavy low-end bass can be felt across a room; the Meinl Jumbo Bass Subwoofer Cajon creates serious thump, way more than even our own traditional cajons, but without overstepping volume
  • WHY IT MATTERS: deep, rhythmic bass moves people and music more than just about anything else; now you can bring that feeling to quieter acoustic gigs while staying in the range of volume cajons are designed for
  • HOW IT WORKS: the jumbo size body has internal bass reflex channels that develop deeper low frequencies, then forward-facing sound ports project that tone toward your audience; it's also equipped with two internal fixed sets of snares for a crisp pop
  • OF NOTE: two large front ports are made to fill a venue with extra natural volume, and there is no rear-facing port like most cajons have; instead, there is a recessed carrying handle on the back to pick the cajon up easily
  • DRIVING THE SOUND: a responsive walnut playing surface gives you definition and warmth; the body is built with durable modern composite because this material reflects sound instead of absorbing it, so you get a clear tone (plus it's extra sturdy)
  • BY THE NUMBERS: the cajon measures 13 1/2" W x 19 3/4" H x 13 1/4" D and weighs 17 lbs; the jumbo shape creates bigger sound but is also comfortable to sit on for longer sets
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play it 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

What's in the box

  • not included
  • Product Description

    The Meinl Jumbo Subwoofer Cajon features a forward projecting sound port in place of the traditional rear facing style and an internal reflex channel. This results in an enhanced bass note projection, particularly desirable for live and unplugged situations. Fixed internal snare wires deliver a crisp and cutting sound that enhances corner slaps and adds a touch of contrast to bass notes. The Jumbo Bass Cajon is designed to project immensely deep bass tones that swell with harder playing and provide slight punches behind soft notes, responding much like a kick drum. Frontplate: walnut (Juglans regia L.)

    Jumbo bass Cajon holds up to it's name
    Snares needed adjustment for more response which was a minor issue. I did add a few more percussion instruments as well as a foot pedal. I normally use a drum set so I need my hi hat and cymbals as well as my tambourine for any acoustic gig.
