Questions frequently asked
How is a jingle castanet attached to a cajon?
The attachment relies on a hook-and-loop strip and an application with an adhesive strip. It allows installation on any compatible surface of the cajon.
What sound do the stainless steel jingles produce?
The stainless steel jingles add a light metallic halo to the woody attack. The result combines a crisp crack with a subtle shimmer.
Is the Meinl Jingle Castanet Cajon suitable for flamenco?
This model integrates well with flamenco, Latin, and folk playing styles thanks to its castanet attack. Its spring opening promotes a quick response for accents and syncopations. Finger taps allow modulation of the jingle presence.
What wood is used for this cajon castanet?
The body is made of Siam oak, also known as Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg., with a matte finish.
Can the intensity of the jingles be varied while playing?
Depending on the pressure and angle of impact, it is possible to switch from a sharper attack to a brighter texture. Fast taps, strong hits, or releases modify the amount of jingle.
