{"product_id":"meinl-aesleyb-artisan-edition-cajon-sole-line-ebony-burst-259562","title":"AESLEYB - ARTISAN EDITION CAJON SOLE LINE - EBONY BURST","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Soleá range is directly inspired by the aesthetics and demands of the modern flamenco cajon: an instrument capable of articulating deep bass while maintaining a sharp and \"singing\" treble for rim shots. In this line, the string assembly is done by hand in the spirit of master luthier José \"Pepote\" Hernández Diaz, a nod to the Spanish artisanal craftsmanship that shaped the cajon's sound as it is heard today on stage. Available in Espresso Burst, Ebony Burst, and Dark Red Burst finishes, Soleá positions itself as a series that is elegant, expressive, and clearly performance-oriented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Cajon Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Soleá Ebony Burst is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a responsive cajon capable of shifting from subtle finger playing to more forceful hand strikes without losing definition. Its pre-tuned string response is particularly suited to styles where articulation is essential: \u003cstrong\u003eflamenco\u003c\/strong\u003e, acoustic pop, fusion, Latin music, variety, and vocal-guitar accompaniment. Thanks to the reinforced bass, it also works very well in \"unplugged\" settings or with light amplification when a solid low end under the groove is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cajon incorporates \u003cstrong\u003etwo sets of four pre-tuned micro-wound metal strings\u003c\/strong\u003e installed inside the playing surface to generate a precise \"snare\" effect that is more homogeneous and easier to control than an overly intrusive timbre. The \u003cstrong\u003einternal Bass reflex system\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to support low frequencies and add more depth to the central \"boom,\" while maintaining clear attack definition. Ergonomically, the \u003cstrong\u003erounded corners\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ethumb notches\u003c\/strong\u003e at the top, and the \u003cstrong\u003erounded front plate\u003c\/strong\u003e with convex contact improve the feel under the hand, reduce fatigue during long sessions, and promote more consistent strikes. The specially designed \u003cstrong\u003erubber feet\u003c\/strong\u003e stabilize the instrument and contribute to sound clarity by limiting unwanted floor vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBaltic birch\u003c\/strong\u003e body (9-ply, 12 mm) is a recognized choice for its combination of \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eclean projection\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003enatural warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a cajon, this translates to a bass that starts quickly (without flabbiness), good sustain, and excellent clarity of nuances when alternating between center (bass) and edges (slaps). Birch also offers a very \"clean\" response: ghost notes and rolls are more distinguishable, which is valuable for flamenco playing and dynamic accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emicro-wound strings\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a fine grain rich in harmonics, with controlled sizzle: present enough to give the \"snare drum\" character but restrained enough not to mask the bass. The addition of the \u003cstrong\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the sense of depth and helps the instrument \"fill\" the space, especially useful when playing without a microphone or with simple miking. Finally, the ergonomic striking plate promotes comfortable and consistent attack, which is immediately noticeable in the consistency of the slap and the precision of accents.\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebirch\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e29.85 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\"\u003eBlack\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\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSoleá\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\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\"\u003eEbony Burst\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\"\u003eBaltic birch (Betula pendula), 9-ply, 12 mm thickness\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\/4 inches (approximately 28.6 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 inches (approximately 48.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\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\u003eSoleá line finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eEspresso Burst, Ebony Burst, Dark Red Burst\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":54360875827475,"sku":"259562","price":259.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/61101e3d4629d798f1456b45ab25800b751092c4_MEINL_AESLEYB.jpg?v=1787399111","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-aesleyb-artisan-edition-cajon-sole-line-ebony-burst-259562","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
