General
The first picture might fool you, but the second one gives it away. With its frontplate the size of a hand, the Meinl SCAJ1NT-LB Mini Cajon is a fun little cajon. You might even call it cute! But don't underestimate it. This is a full-fledged musical instrument from the people at Meinl. It's very fun to play and not just a toy. Just like any pint-sized instrument, this mini cajon’s pitch is noticeably higher than that of its full-sized siblings. That's why this little guy could be an interesting addition to your percussion setup, even if you already own a full-sized cajon.

What is a cajon?
Historically speaking, it's a wooden box. Long ago, when African slaves were transported to South America by sea, the rations of food were stored in wooden crates and the slaves used these crates to make music. The modern-day cajon has its origins in Peru, where cajons have proven to be popular (and remarkably versatile) percussive instruments. And their popularity continues to rise, even on our side of the big pond, which is in large part because of the wide array of interesting accessories that has been created for it.
