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 7-ply Baltic birch body and brown eucalyptus 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 three 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


"The Tango Line of Artisan Cajons has two groupings of three pre-tuned metal micro-coiled cajon strings that span across the inside of the playing surface for a crisp snare effect. These strings are hand-wound in the style of master cajon builder, José "Pepote" Hernández Diaz. Rounded corners and thumb notches on the top of the front plate and resonating body optimize playing comfort and sound.

I spent a lot of time reading reviews and watching youtube videos leading up to my first cajon purchase. I could not have been happier. The price point and build quality of this cajon are stellar in my opinion, but what will really impress you is the sound quality.Right out of the box, I was confused by the sound quality. It wasn't what I expected, but now that I've been playing it for a few months, I can tell you that it's because I just didn't know what I was doing. But now... I get solid bass, resonant tom-like midrange, and two distinctly different snare sounds - one is lower and meaty and the other is higher and snappy (my favorite for playing along with funky tunes).Unlike some instruments, the learning process is extremely fun. I'm at a point where I'm working on fine tuning my playing and developing technique, but I have zero doubts about this cajon fitting the needs of any jam session I can throw at it.

Somehow even with virus related shipping delays, this piece of art arrived several days early and I couldn't be happier. Sounds great, looks amazing, and I thank the seller and Meinl very much. It is everything I hoped for and I'm so glad I picked this one up. Special thanks to all the youtubers out there that recorded samples with such great sound quality.

I've owned several cajons from different companies and the ones I purchase from Meinl always are superior in construction and sound quality . When I buy cajons and accessories Meinl is definitely my first choice . When you buy a cajon no matter entry level or professional Meinl will offer the best in any price range.

Absolutely beautiful instrument handmade in Spain. This is an excellent cajon at this price point period especially if you can get it on a deal like I did. I'm very happy with it. This is a special instrument for people who appreciate attention to detail.

Number 1, it’s got great tone. It’s also made of great tone woods, is quality built, and fairly attractive. We’re having a ton of fun playing along to songs and creating beats and fills. Recommended!

Les finitions et le design sont très beaux mais je ne l'ai pas gardé car niveau son ce n'était pas du tout ce que je recherchais. Beaucoup de reverb et trop d'aigu, j'ai opté pour le meinl artisan cantina line beaucoup plus puissant dans les basses.
