{"product_id":"ai-andalus-cajon-luthier-338809","title":"Cajon Luthier","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003eAn essential instrument in modern acoustic music, the cajon has established itself by its ability to replace a lightweight drum kit while remaining highly portable. This model adopts a more \"luthier\" approach to percussion: choice of birch plies for precision, work with noble veneers (maple and hickory root), and manufacturing details designed to optimize response and comfort. This cajon is oriented towards \u003cstrong\u003eexpressiveness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efine timbre adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e, suited for musicians who want to sculpt their sound rather than settle for a fixed setting.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Cajon Is For\u003c\/h3\u003eThis cajon is well suited for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e musicians looking for a percussion instrument that is lively, precise, and adaptable to various contexts. Thanks to the adjustable timbre and the quick response of birch, it excels in \u003cstrong\u003eflamenco\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic pop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003evariety\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLatin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as accompanying guitar\/voice where the balance between round bass and articulated slaps is essential. The rounded edges are a real plus for long playing sessions (rehearsals, live sets), reducing wrist and forearm fatigue.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003eThe core of this model is its \u003cstrong\u003e6-string adjustable snare system\u003c\/strong\u003e, controlled by a mechanism inspired by \u003cstrong\u003eguitar tuning machines\u003c\/strong\u003e. This type of adjustment allows you to switch from a tight and snappy timbre (drier slap, very present \"snare drum\" effect) to a looser setting (more woody grain, subtler string noise), or finely balance sensitivity between striking zones. The \u003cstrong\u003ereinforced soundhole\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to better bass sustain and a more pronounced \"body\" sensation, useful when you want a powerful kick without forcing your stroke.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe design also prioritizes ergonomics: \u003cstrong\u003erounded corners and edges\u003c\/strong\u003e for a gentler grip, and a box geometry designed to maintain a stable position whether you play seated in the studio, rehearsing, or on stage. Finally, the birch\/veneer combination (maple on the outside, hickory root on the back) provides a strong visual identity while maintaining a reliable and homogeneous sound base.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirch\u003c\/strong\u003e is known for its quick response and precise character: it highlights a \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e, good \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e, and well-controlled bass. On a cajon, this translates into a defined \"kick\" and a slap that stands out clearly in an acoustic mix without being overshadowed by guitar or vocals. The different ply thicknesses (9 mm and 12 mm) enhance the feeling of solidity and can contribute to a more stable dynamic, especially when playing with nuance (ghost notes, accents, rolls).\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emaple veneer exterior\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a touch of clarity and a controlled brightness to the attacks while preserving a musical tone. At the back, the \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican hickory root\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its unique aesthetics but also contributes to a sense of density and depth. Combined with the \u003cstrong\u003ereinforced soundhole\u003c\/strong\u003e, this design helps achieve \u003cstrong\u003edeeper bass\u003c\/strong\u003e and a more even low-frequency diffusion, useful both for bare-hand playing and with brushes\/rods (depending on your technique and context).\u003cbr \/\u003eRegarding the \"snare,\" the \u003cstrong\u003e6 adjustable strings\u003c\/strong\u003e allow you to fine-tune the amount of grain and vibration: a tight setting yields a drier, more biting sound, ideal for modern patterns and sharp accents\u0026#59; a looser setting produces a more organic, woodier tone, perfect for intimate accompaniments. This cajon is therefore an excellent choice if you want a percussion instrument capable of shifting from a very articulated register to a rounder one simply by adjusting the snare tension.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebirch plies 9 mm and 12 mm with maple veneer exterior and marquetry\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e48 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack veneer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAmerican hickory root\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e29.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTapa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebirch plate + American hickory root veneer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e31 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnare system\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6 adjustable strings operated by guitar tuning keys\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Ai-andalus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357704573203,"sku":"338809","price":649.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/8b1743b7f9eeb6c4f4a5ce5d4bf795f7b3c70ae9_ADL_LUT.jpg?v=1792537539","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/ai-andalus-cajon-luthier-338809","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
