Meinl Pickup Turbo Slaptop Cajon - Cajon

This is my 3rd Meinl Cajon. I play with several bands quite often, in numerous settings. I have owned the Meinl Turbo Slap w/ walnut in the past, and just upgraded for the pickup version. It is a dream. This is the instrument I have dreamed of since I was a child, always drumming with my hands, and now with the pickup, I can do anything at any event, and sound like I am playing a full kit. On to thew problem: After 1 gig, I went to pack it, and noticed 3/4 screws had came out of the pickup, which are not threaded, and the nuts that held them in place also were gone. It sounds like they are still in the cajon. I am in the process of warranty right now with Amazon, as Meinl never contacted me after reaching out to them. Problem is, the product is so good, that I will continue to exchange this time after time until Meinl fixes the pickup.

I perform with a band and one of the venues we play in is really, really small! I don't have the floor space to use my regular cajon, so I bought this to play on my lap. I originally got the slightly smaller version with no electronics, but I was very disappointed with that. It sounded more like a tom tom with very poor bass. This one on the other hand, sounds good for what it is. It will never have the clout of a proper sit on cajon, but it's when it's plugged into an amplifier that it really comes into its own! A turn off a knob and you've got as much bass as you want! I will say that I would prefer the snare sounds to be better, which is why I've deducted a star, but still, for using in places where space is tight, it's great. The build quality is nice too and feels really sturdy and well made. I sometimes have a bit of an issue with it slipping on my legs, but never badly enough that it threatens to fall off. I just reposition occasionally and all is good. I honestly wouldn't want to be without it. It's so convenient and definitely has it's place. And it's good fun to play! Quick note - when I play it, I do remove my wedding ring so as not to risk damaging it. I don't feel the need to do this with my sit on cajon, so I guess it's something to do with the different playing position and how my hands hit it. But I wouldn't want to be leaving my ring on as I do fear I would damage the top.

Just what I was looking for love tom sounds

arrivé ébréché ainsi que le carton d emballage, donc retour. J ai qd même pu l essayer, si vous vous attendez à un son traditionnel du cajon et bien vous serez déçu. Sonorité de la cc peu efficace même branché sur une sono...

Auch ohne Pickup ein erstaunlich satter sound und viele Klangmöglichkeiten : die Pickups machen ebenfalls einen tollen Job. Sensationelles Preis Leistungsvrthältnis. Leider habe ich bisher noch keine Tasche für das INstrument gefunden. Hier wäre wohl Handlungsbedarf Andi
