Meinl TOPCAJ1MB slap top cajon

One of my best buys for a very long time, in daily use since I got it, it has a sort of conga sound, with a bit of damping with the hands it can be a bongo, the bass sound is surprisingly solid and variable by playing it, and the snare are is fantastic , can be like shuffle along with multiple notes or a biting snap, depends how you want it, its delicate enough to be played with fingertips as well, I was a stringed instrumentalist until a year or so ago, for about 40 years, I was pretty good too :P then I found myself ill and not able to use strings through my rheumatism , the ends of my fingers got too big to fit on the fretboard, I was devastated to say the least, this little box has really saved the day, I can "play" music again, so much better than sequencing it! The joy and all the health benefits of playing music are back with me, so if you were worried for any reason, this might be too hard for me to do, it wont be, my hands are super delicate and sensitive to pains, I am getting none with this, one more thing, its got a port at the front for the bassier sounds, as with a sub woofer, position is everything, reflecting the sound against a wall gives you the bass back in your ear holes immediately, recording it would be a breeze, It's a great instrument and marvelous aid to my disabilities too I guess, I could not be happier with it! Big Thanks to BAX and Meinl.
