HOW IT WORKS: the Baltic birch playing surface delivers punchy bass with about as much volume as an acoustic guitar, and inside the cajon are two sets of adjustable micro-coiled steel cajon strings that give you a crisp snare sound (tuning key included)

HOW TO ADJUST STRINGS: we include a hex key that you can use to tighten or loosen the two screws on the bottom of the cajon (between the two front feet); tighten the screws for more definition and loosen them for a lax snare effect

BY THE NUMBERS: the Meinl Headliner Cajon measures 11 3/4" W x 18" H x 12 1/4" D and weighs 8 lbs; its full size has enough volume for any room, and it's made to last with a solid frame that supports adults and children

WHERE WE'VE SEEN IT PLAYED: take it to your campsite, bring on a cross-country road trip or play in the middle of your dorm room; four solid silicone feet on the bottom keep the cajon stable, avoid scratches, and eliminate crazy vibrations on any surface
