{"product_id":"meinl-travel-cajon-erable-388403","title":"TRAVEL CAJON MAPLE","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Travel Slaptop Cajon fits within Meinl Percussion's approach to offering \u003cstrong\u003emodern, practical, and immediately musical\u003c\/strong\u003e percussion instruments. While a traditional cajon is played sitting on top, this \"slaptop\" format favors use on the knees to maintain the cajon's groove sensation while reducing bulk. It is a relevant choice for musicians seeking a \u003cstrong\u003eportable instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e without sacrificing playing precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Cajon Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis travel cajon is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e who want an easy-to-handle instrument, as well as \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate percussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e looking for a lightweight solution for rehearsals, lessons, small stages, or acoustic sessions. It is particularly suited to \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLatin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eflamenco\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ereggae\u003c\/strong\u003e styles and \u003cstrong\u003eunplugged\u003c\/strong\u003e setups (guitar-voice, duo, trio). Its vertical playing position will also appeal to musicians who want to maintain a stable posture and avoid the \"sitting on a box\" feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"slaptop\" concept transforms your playing style: the instrument sits on the knees, facilitating \u003cstrong\u003eright-hand left-hand transitions\u003c\/strong\u003e, accents, and dynamics, all while maintaining an upright seated position. The \u003cstrong\u003eforward-facing sound holes\u003c\/strong\u003e project sound toward the listener, an advantage in jams or small acoustic circles, where a rear vent can sometimes sound more diffuse. Inside, the \u003cstrong\u003etwo fixed strings\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a snare-like timbral response, useful for marking a clear backbeat and articulating ghost notes with greater clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBaltic birch playing surface\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a clear attack and responsive touch. Birch is valued for its precise character, helping to distinguish \"bass\" hits (center) from \"snare\" hits (closer to the edges) with good definition. This surface also supports dynamic playing, from simple accompaniment to more detailed patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body made of \u003cstrong\u003eeco-friendly medium-density fiberboard\u003c\/strong\u003e offers controlled and even response, particularly suited to a compact format. Combined with the \u003cstrong\u003efixed internal strings\u003c\/strong\u003e, the output emphasizes a precise \u003cstrong\u003esnare timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e with enough presence to carry the groove without strain. The forward-facing vents enhance the sensation of immediate impact, useful when playing without amplification or very close to other musicians.\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\"\u003eMini\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\"\u003e24.13 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\"\u003eNatural\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\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e18 3\/4 inches (length) x 2 3\/4 inches (height) x 9 1\/2 inches (depth)\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\u003ePlaying surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBaltic birch\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\u003eStrings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etwo fixed internal strings\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":54361880887571,"sku":"388403","price":77.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/3e7d7443d3a4aac3b6ae5285299e47ff4c0aa186_TTOPCAJ1.jpg?v=1787431560","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-travel-cajon-maple-388403","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
