{"product_id":"meinl-artisan-edition-fandango-line-indian-heartwood-259528","title":"AEFLIH - ARTISAN EDITION CAJONS FANDANGO LINE - INDIAN HEARTWOOD","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFandango Artisan\u003c\/strong\u003e line by MEINL was designed as a premium collection where every detail serves musicality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. This cajón embraces an artisanal approach, with string mounting inspired by the methods of José \"Pepote\" Hernández Diaz, and manufacturing carried out in Spain to preserve the traditional cajón DNA while adding modern refinements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Cajón Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cajón is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced percussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an expressive instrument capable of transitioning from subtle playing to more forceful strikes without losing definition. Its balanced character is particularly suited to acoustic and live styles such as \u003cstrong\u003eflamenco\u003c\/strong\u003e, rumba, Latin, pop unplugged, folk, acoustic jazz, and singer-songwriter accompaniment. Thanks to its precise adjustments, it is also suitable for studio use to quickly achieve a clean and controlled snare timbre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this model is based on a system of \u003cstrong\u003e16 adjustable vertical strings\u003c\/strong\u003e, divided into \u003cstrong\u003etwo sets of 8\u003c\/strong\u003e for a clear, fast, and nuanced response across the entire front plate. Adjustment is done independently via \u003cstrong\u003etwo tuning screws\u003c\/strong\u003e located at the back, allowing tension adjustment of each string set to find the ideal balance between snap, presence, and harmonic control. The \u003cstrong\u003eextra-thick vent\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the sensation of compression, helping to achieve denser bass and more stable projection, while the \u003cstrong\u003epop filter\u003c\/strong\u003e smooths air turbulence and improves microphone capture. Finally, ergonomics are not just a detail: rounded corners, thumb notches, and a convex surface facilitate hand placement and attack precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esolid 15 mm tulip poplar\u003c\/strong\u003e used for the body provides a generous low end, with round bass and good breadth. This thick construction favors \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e and stability of low notes, particularly appreciated in acoustic playing without amplification or on stage. The extra-thick vent accentuates perceived \u003cstrong\u003ecompression\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering a \"punch\" sensation and immediate response on bass hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eIndian Heartwood\u003c\/strong\u003e front plate adds a more defined attack and beautiful precision in the mid-highs, ideal for highlighting snare nuances. The two-group string setup offers a sensitive and controllable snap: relaxed tension for a more open and woody sound, increased tension for a tighter, articulated timbre close to a snare drum. The result is a cajón that is both elegant and highly musical, designed for expressive playing and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecajon\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecajon\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e30.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eIndian Heartwood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esolid 15 mm tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSatin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e11 1\/2\u0026quot; (approximately 29.2 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e19\u0026quot; (approximately 48.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359339991315,"sku":"259528","price":926.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/548a863609cd3ec34ae4359744bc831957755f19_AEFLIH.jpg?v=1787362173","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-aeflih-artisan-edition-cajons-fandango-line-indian-heartwood-259528","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
