Schlagwerk CAJON 2INONE EBONY LINES PSC CPS2ONE-5

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

The 2inOne series has established itself as a reference at Schlagwerk for musicians seeking a versatile cajon, capable of delivering both a modern snare articulation and a more "wooden" sound when the snare system is disengaged. This limited edition highlights a distinctive "Ebony Lines" aesthetic while maintaining the DNA of the range: meticulous craftsmanship, selected materials, and a performance-oriented approach, suitable for studio, stage, or conservatory use.

Who This Cajon Is For

This cajon is particularly aimed at intermediate and advanced players who want a responsive instrument that is easy to control and adaptable to various contexts. Music teachers will appreciate its sonic clarity (pronounced bass, precise slaps), while stage percussionists will find a solid foundation to accompany guitar, piano, or a full acoustic ensemble.

Stylistically, it excels in acoustic pop, Latin, modern flamenco, folk, world, and chanson. The option to remove the snare system also allows for a more traditional playing style, ideal for stripped-down arrangements, "unplugged" atmospheres, or recording situations where minimizing buzz is desired.

Features and Innovations

The core of this model is the 2inOne snare technology : strands positioned inside the cajon rest against the striking surface at a precise angle. Upon impact, they vibrate and produce the characteristic "snare" tone, with a quick response and a harmonic-rich attack spectrum. The key advantage is the ease of use : the snare system can be easily removed to achieve a more "traditional," woodier, and rounder cajon sound without the presence of buzzing.

Another design detail to note: the upper part of the striking surface is attached with screws, while the other half is glued, a construction method stated to be identical to the La Perù models. This design aims to optimize the balance between slap precision, mechanical stability, and overall dynamics, maintaining excellent sensitivity to finger and palm playing.

Sound Characteristics

The 8-ply birch resonator box gives the cajon a behavior highly appreciated by percussionists: a clear attack, clean projection, and structured lows that remain audible even at high volumes. Birch is known for its relatively balanced sound: it emphasizes definition and presence while retaining a solid low end, which helps the cajon "cut through" in an acoustic mix.

With the 2inOne snare system engaged, the slaps gain bite and texture: the sound approaches that of a light snare drum, with controlled buzz that responds to nuances (ghost notes, accents, rim-like taps). Removing the snare system yields a more "wooden" register, with rounder lows and a cleaner high spectrum, ideal for soft accompaniments, ballads, or contexts favoring warmth and simplicity. This ability to change sonic identity in moments makes this cajon an excellent "all-terrain" choice.
