Geat Cajon

I play mainly the drums and bought this as a versatile option in my percussion arsenal. It is a great instrument with a lot of possibilities and a good alternative for smaller venues, pocket shows or acoustic set ups, etc.
I played in other cajons before and I can safely say that , the craftsmanship in this instrument and overall sound is a lot better than the other Brands.
I had a lot of compliments on the sound while auditioning with it and also while playing in venues.
The snare inside has a subtle bell, which gives it a nice sound. It can be adjusted or also muted if you want a more traditional cajon sound. The bass is very good for the size, overall you get a velvety and clear definition of mids and bass. Good bass sound in the middle if you play with the palm staccato.
I played live and used a Shure Beta 52 on the hole at the back and a Shure sm57 at the front and it sounded very, very good in the PA
The sound is improving with time which is also good news. In this price bracket you cannot go wrong with this . Also bought a Millenium Classic Cajon Bag to keep it safe, very happy with Thomann?s impeccable service, the products arrived very quickly and very well packed.

quality product and sound

the schlagwerk cp404blk isnt the cheapest cajon on the market but it is very good value for money for the quality of the build and the amazing sound that it produces.
it has an anti slip coating on the top (seat) which means that you will not slip off even if you tilt back. the snare assembly inside is comprised of a bell and open ended snare wires making contact with the front head. there is a hole in the back which is usually the best place to put a microphone.
straight out of the box this cajon sounds amazing. the resonance and sensitivity of the front head is great and the snare sound is clear and distinct. low down on the head you get a really deep bass tone. you can adjust the front head but to be honest, i wouldnt bother because it produces a very good sound already. it is a very good quality product. dont be surprised if people ask you where the drum kit is after you have been playing this cajon - it sounds that good.

Fantastic sound!

A very nice Cajon indeed. The snare is beautifully crisp, and the tones from it are very nice and varied if you move around the surface or on the sides and back. I love this and play it weekly in a band.

Love it!

Well, it is cheap, has a good sound (I would like more "melodic" lows) and it is very very beautiful. I have only used cheap cajons and I'm very happy with this one. Love the non-slipping sitting surface.

Faultless!
Anonymous 11.06.2014
I use this Cajon for gigs about twice a week, and get along with it fantastic. The noise that comes out of it is enough to fill small venues well, and also sounds fantastic when mic'd up in larger places.

I have spoken to many intrigued people, some who have never seen a Cajon before, as well as many people that own them. I am constantly told how this Cajon sounds so much better than many others around.

This is a great Cajon for beginners, and professionals alike, I have even used it for recording! As said in the title, 'faultless'.

Great sounding cajon for an affordable price!
JamieM 13.08.2015
I bought this cajon 3 months ago in June as I was gigging in Spain for 3 weeks with the band and wanted something compact and easy to transport. I was very happy having gigged for 3 years with the larger schlagwerk 2inOne bass cajon. I wasn't sure if this smaller cajon would pack the same punch but to my pleasant surprise it has very distinct bass and a nice crack from the snare(I am a hard hitter too which helps). When mic'd correctly this cajon does the job perfectly.

Pro's: Compact, great sounding cajon that has a very attractive finish.

Con's: As I am quite a heavy hitter, the snare tends to move and dislodge from it's grooves on the inside of the cajon after long gigs.. It has even fallen out completely on one occasion(After a gig NEVER DURING), however it takes only a few seconds to adjust the snares back in place and you are good as new.

In conclusion, I fully recommend this cajon to both novice drummers looking for something to jam with and to the professional drummer looking for a compact percussion solution for a gig or recording session. Great instrument for the price!
