About this item

  • 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 limba frontplate deliver rich, punchy, and balanced tone (Baltic birch is also used in high-end drum set construction for players serious about sound)
  • DRIVING THE SNARE SOUND: spanning the frontplate inside are two fixed sets of six 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
  • 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
  • THE TAKEAWAY: this is a special handcrafted cajon made to be appreciated for its details all around—sound, feel, response, look, and durability; there's no doubt it will serve you your entire life


Internal strings and an extra thick wooden sound port ring for bass compression gives the Cantina Line a wide dynamic range of highs and lows. Two fixed sets of four micro-coiled metal cajon strings give a snapping snare effect. These strings are hand-wound in the style of master cajon builder, José "Pepote" Hernández Diaz, and respond with the upmost sensitivity. The 7-Ply, 9 mm thick Baltic Birch resonating body develops the sound into a full, punchy tone that projects with clarity and warmth. A decorative wood inlay adds a touch of elegance to the overall appearance. Features an exquisite Limba frontplate. Made in Spain.
