How to Play the Cajon (pronounced 'ka-hone')
Start Playing Right Away with These Two Fundamental Techniques
For punchy bass notes
Strike near the centre of the playing surface for the deepest bass response. Use your palms or fingertips to find the right mix of volume and attack.
Achieve snapping snare sounds
Using the length of your fingers in a slapping motion, play near the top corners of the front plate for a sharper snare sound. Combine bass and snare hits to create grooves!
Ideal for acoustic sets, small theatres, and houses of worship
Intimate acoustic shows are the most common places for cajons. The Meinl Headliner string cajon is ideal for backing up a band these types of settings. Take to writer's rounds, coffee house sets, or theatre performances.
Often times, percussion is needed to accompany music for worship services. This cajon performs great behind a band in large or small worship settings and can be used to provide rhythm for choral groups as well. Its durability makes it the ultimate house percussion piece to be used by different players, and its volume is ideal when a full drum set cannot be used.
Explore the Key Features of the Headliner String Cajon
Internal Adjustable Coiled Metal Strings
Located inside the cajon is a hex wrench that you may use to adjust the tension of the metal strings that span across the frontplate. To do this, locate the two screws on the bottom of the cajon (between the front rubber feet) and turn them with the hex wrench until you reach your desired level of tension.
Tighter strings will give you a more focused snare sound, while loosening them adds slack for a lax snare effect.
Adjustable Top Corners for Cutting Slaps
Players may find that adjusting the two top corner screws on the frontplate will change the amount of 'slap' sound that is achievable. This is done by altering the distance between the top corners of the playing surface and cajon body by turning the screws with any household screwdriver.
Loosening the screws gets you more of a sharp attack sound, while tightening them gives you a warmer, woody tonal quality.
Rear Sound Port for Tone and Amplification
This cajon comes with a sound port that is cut into the back of the resonating body. This allows air to escape from the cajon as you play it, which enhances all frequencies of the instrument. The sound port is also an ideal spot for microphone placement when amplification is needed.
This is an extremely versatile cajon that may be used unplugged in small cafes or under a microphone in large music venues and houses of worship.
Four Large Rubber Feet for Anti-Vibration
Attached to the underside of this cajon are rubber feet that keep the instrument stable. These feet also protect the cajon while dampening unwanted vibrations.
The refined sound from the features inside and outside of the Meinl Headliner string cajon make this a great option for the recording studio.
Meinl Percussion
The MEINL Headliner Series String Cajons deliver the classic cajon sound at an affordable price and can be used in Flamenco or World Music. They are also very useful during unplugged gigs for delivering the rhythmic foundation for a whole band when a full drum set can't be used.
