Description
Traditional Cajon (Chestnut): Features
Instrument with structure in solid Fir, back face in Birch plywood and tapa (front) in Chestnut and Poplar plywood. Traditional model, wood and used materials are carefully selected: the care and the research in selection, in addiction to building features and techniques, guarantee the creation of an instrument with excellent sonorous qualities, endowed with powerful bass, great volume emission for a better management of expressive dynamics, wide usable range of clear, clean defined and different sounds with lots of timbral nuances.
The Cajon model Traditional does not have any internal or external device that alternate or change the natural sound of the percussion. The instrument's sound in its most essential and ancient version are warm, defined and primitive, widely different depending on the part of tapa or body to beat, from the low and deep frequencies of the central bass drum sound to the various and acute responses of the highest parts of the structure.
The instinctivity of the approach to the instrument and its virtuosic potential, make the Cajon suitable both for the beginner or percussion amateur and for the professional; as well as being a good alternative to a drum set or more bulky percussions (not only for buskers but also more formal contexts), the Cajon is an instrument with a great personality, able, in right hands, to create complex and engaging rhythmic expressions.
