Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Originating from the large family of cajons, an essential instrument in acoustic and live settings, the Move Box stands out with a focus on mobility. Whereas the traditional cajon is conceived as a seat-instrument played in a fixed position, this model bets on a format and design that allow movement without sacrificing the expected percussive sound identity (bass in the center, sharp slap at the top of the striking surface).
Its positioning is clear: a cajon oriented towards stage performance, suited for musicians who want to interact with the audience, get closer to a microphone, a music stand, or other instrumentalists, and vary their placement on stage like a singer or guitarist would.
Who This Drum/Cajon Is For
The Move Box is aimed at cajon players of intermediate to advanced level who already master basic techniques (bass, slap, ghost notes) and wish to expand their playing towards a more "show" and functional dimension. However, it remains accessible to a motivated musician wanting to learn in a standing playing context, provided they take the time to get accustomed to the posture and balance of the instrument in motion.
In terms of styles, it excels in acoustic pop, variety, folk, unplugged reggae, world music, and guitar-vocal accompaniment. It is also very suitable for events, "light" acoustic brass bands, street performances, and gigs where the percussionist's mobility becomes a real stage asset.

Questions frequently asked
Can the Schlagwerk MB 110 Move Box be played standing up?
The strap system with Heck Stick holds the cajon in position to allow playing while standing and moving around. This design targets mobile stage performances and acoustic events.
Can this cajon be played on the knees?
Thanks to its thin resonating box, it is possible to play seated with the instrument resting on the knees. The approximate dimensions of 20 x 29 x 49 cm facilitate this setup in tight spaces.
What sound character does the birch wood provide?
The striking surface and body made of birch promote a clear attack and precise articulation. The 8-ply wedge-shaped birch body supports bass tones at the center of the striking area and sharper slaps towards the top.
What snare system does the Move Box have?
A 40-spiral snare effect provides a dense snare drum texture under the strokes. Ghost notes, accents, and rolls can thus be nuanced according to hand position.
What music styles is the Move Box cajon suitable for?
This model is suitable for acoustic pop, folk, unplugged reggae, and guitar-vocal accompaniment. Its mobile playing capability also meets the needs of street performances and light acoustic brass band shows.
