  • Sela CaSela Pro

    Adjustable snare cajon

    Hand percussion

    The CaSela Pro's snare system can be adjusted or removed without tools, letting one box cover both the snare and the traditional sound.

  • DG De Gregorio Chanela

    Flamenco cajon from Spain

    Hand percussion · Spain

    The Chanela is De Gregorio's best-known cajon, built for flamenco accompaniment where the slap has to be sharp enough to sit against palmas and heels.

  • Tycoon Supremo Cajon

    Siam oak cajon from Thailand

    Hand percussion

    The Supremo cajon is Tycoon's volume seller: a Siam oak box with fixed snare wires, made in the company's own factory, at a price that puts it in most rehearsal rooms.

  • Schlagwerk 2inOne

    Snare and non-snare in one box

    Hand percussion

    The 2inOne cajon puts the snare wires where they respond to the top corners but not the centre, so a player gets a snare crack and a clean bass note from the same box without adjusting anything.

  • Toca Player's Series Cajon

    Snare cajon at a working price

    Hand percussion

    The Player's Series cajon covers the standard format — birch body, hardwood front plate, internal snare wires — at the price point where most people buy their first one.

  • Schlagwerk La Peru

    A cajon without snares, as the instrument began

    Hand percussion

    La Peru is Schlagwerk's traditional cajon: no snare wires, just the box, in the Peruvian form the instrument had before European players added the buzz.

  • Meinl Snarecraft Cajon

    Fixed internal snare wires

    Hand percussion

    Snarecraft cajons carry fixed internal snare wires under the whole playing surface rather than only the top corners, which gives a consistent snare buzz wherever the box is struck.

  • Schlagwerk Fineline

    The upper end of the cajon catalogue

    Hand percussion

    Fineline cajons use selected playing-surface timbers and adjustable corner tension, and are aimed at players for whom the cajon is the main instrument rather than a travel substitute.

  • Meinl Turbo Slaptop Cajon

    A cajon played on the lap

    Hand percussion

    The Slaptop turns the cajon on its side so it can be played seated at a table or on a lap, with the playing surface facing the player and the port facing out. It is the format most used by singer-guitarists accompanying themselves.

  • Sela Cajon Kit

    A cajon that arrives flat-packed

    Hand percussion

    Sela sells cajons as self-assembly kits with the snare mechanism pre-fitted, which is both cheaper and — for school workshops — the point of the exercise.

  • Meinl Jumbo Bass Cajon

    An oversized box for low end

    Hand percussion

    The Jumbo Bass is built larger than a standard cajon specifically to produce a deeper bass note, at the cost of the sharp corner slap a smaller box gives.

  • LP Americana Cajon

    LP's snare-fitted cajon

    Hand percussion

    The Americana groups LP's cajons — plain, snare-fitted, and slap-top — around the format that turned a Peruvian box drum into standard equipment for acoustic gigs.
