Tension of the internal "snare strings" can be adjusted easily with a standard drum key. And in nice design stroke, front height-adjustable feet enable the LP Cajon to be tilted to popular playing positions, liberating it from the floor for increased resonance and player comfort.The Cajon can be incorporated into a variety of set ups-even doubling as a drummer's throne!

LP Soul Cajon by Mario Cortes $259 The cajon has rapidly become the go-to choice for percussionists seeking a full range of tonalities and expressiveness within a single instrument. Under the hands of a skilled player a cajon can be an entire rhythm section unto itself. Such an instrument is the new LP Soul Cajon (LP1430).Created by Spanish master cajon maker Mario Cortés, the Soul Cajon is designed in the Flamenco style. Instead of a loose striking plate, a Flamenco cajon employs a set of internal wires to add high-frequency crispness and definition to the low fundamental tone produced by the body of the cajon. The wires within the Soul Cajon are fully adjustable by means of an Allen screw on the bottom.The front striking panel is made of Finnish birch with reinforcing modern composite material to create a responsive playing surface with an attractive appearance. It is glued and screwed to the top, bottom, and sides of the cajon for rigidity and durability. With an overall size of 11-¾" x 11-¾" x 19", it features specially cut corners on the top and bottom. These corners, in turn, create a uniquely shaped rear panel that provides added punch and a more focused and articulate bass sound.The Soul Cajon by Mario Cortés is finished in a rich, dark lacquer with lighter-colored highlights, giving it the appearance of a fine classical instrument.

Internal snares give the cajon a sharp, snappy sound to complete the package.

LP Angled Cajon $179 Now that the cajon has become extremely popular, LP designers have set their sights on player comfort, specifically the angle of stroke required to play a cajon. The top, of course, is flat and provides a stable seat, but the critical front panel is angled outwards. This allows musicans to easily reach down to play bass tones without having to tilt the cajon. This innovative design promotes longer playing sessions, helps prevent trauma after frequent or long gigs, and also creates a more refined tonal palette.Recording studios are built in an analogous fashion, substituting angles for parallel walls.The LP Angled Cajon also reduces so-called "standing waves" which creates a wider, more balanced frequency spectrum.This principle may account, in part, for the rich bass, distinct crisp slaps and warm mid-tones prevalent in the cajon.Timbres are enhanced by specially chosen hardwoods, carefully butted and held in place by adjustable screws. And a nice touch: generous rubber feet "liberate" frequencies from choking, ensuring that resonant lows, which can equal those of a tumba in the right hands, do not transmit into the floor.For flamenco ensembles, the LP Angled Cajon is fitted with internal resonating wires for a snare drum-like effect.

Each finish starts with one of four deep, lustrous base colors. Next, LP's highly skilled artists painstakingly apply an exaggerated black wood-grain pattern. This pattern is then framed by dark edging added to all but the white cajon. The resulting finishes: Sunburst Streak, Blueburst Streak, Darkwood Streak, and White Streak are bold, distinctive, and totally original.But there's much more to LP's Aspire Accents Cajons than meets the eye, beautiful as that may be. To begin with, their 11-¾" w x 12" d x 17-¼" h shells are made of eco-friendly plantation-grown Siam oak renewable wood that's highly regarded for its resonant qualities. Next, they utilize a hybrid design that combines various traditional features in order to achieve optimum musical performance. The front striking plate is secured to the body of the cajon with screws, in the Peruvian style. This allows the plate to be loosened or tightened in order to adjust the amount of high-end "click" produced when the top edge is struck. Meanwhile, the cajon is fitted with two sets of internal wires in the Flamenco style, adding crispness and character to the rich, deep tones produced by the shell.Best of all, in addition to their striking appearance and outstanding sonic performance, these new cajons come with one other important feature: the affordability that's part of their Aspire heritage.
