Meinl CSMM - CAJONS SIDE MOUNTS

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

In the world of modern cajon, adding accessories (castanets, shakers, hand effects, small mounts) has become an essential way to expand the sound palette without leaving the playing position. The MEINL "Cajon Side Mounts" fit into this logic: a compact hardware accessory designed to optimize the placement of additional elements and make the setup more modular. It is a practical solution within the MEINL range dedicated to percussionists seeking a simple and effective mounting system.

Who This Support Is For

This support is aimed at cajon players from beginner to advanced levels who want to enrich their playing without adding bulk to their setup. It is particularly suitable for acoustic and semi-acoustic contexts (pop, folk, flamenco, Latin, variety, unplugged) where quick texture changes and hand-accessible effects are desired. It is also ideal for traveling musicians who prioritize a lightweight, fast-to-install, and consistent setup from gig to gig.

Features and Innovations

The "Cajon Side Mounts" were designed to bring accessories closer to the striking area, avoiding unnecessary movements and maintaining a natural posture. The buckle and hook closure allows for easy handling and especially quick attachment wherever you need it, whether in rehearsal or live. This approach promotes more precise placement of cajon accessories and facilitates the organization of your setup, even in tight spaces.

Sound

Although it is not a sound-producing element per se, the positioning of accessories directly influences your musicality: the closer the accessory, the smoother your transitions, and the more you can play "in time" without interruption. The choice of Siam oak provides a solid and stable base to hold the accessories, helping to maintain a consistent playing feel and reliable mounting. The result: you exploit more nuances of your cajon and effects, with immediate access to additional tonal colors.
