Get one!
Bought this for my Thomann CAS 100 cajon. Was trying to get more separation between the snare slap and bass, but what I actually got was a sound which works brilliantly where you need real punch to the bass, rather than a general 'boom' - Lol! Like anything made by Schlagwerk, it's a quality item. Seemed a little pricey for what is basically a plastic tube, but .... ya get what ya pay for.... Pros? Fitted perfectly in my cajon and the improvement in bass punch was immediate. Cons? tried this in my mates box and it was loose. Measured his sound hole and it was only 4mm (yep - just FOUR mm) larger and it was flopping around to the point where one slap on the front surface had it flying out the back! When they say 'for cajons with an APPROX 120mm sound hole' what it really seems is that MUST be 120mm!!
Other than that.... nothing really. It does what it does - and makes micing the box externally less problematic- a tighter mic pattern (even polar) can be used as the tube focusses the sound.

adds boom
This simple addition slots into the back of the box and adds a bit of boom.
I'm not sure whether it is really worth it!

Good but problematic.
I bought this Bass Tube by Schlagwerk for a Tycoon Percussion Cajon.
I have to say that it does the job. From the first moment it's fitted you can hear the difference right away; the bass frequencies are much better, and it helps in separating snare and bass sound.
The problem i had is related to the fitting. I didn't mount it on a Schlagwerk Cajon, but i read that it could fit on any hole of approximately 12 cm.
My Cajon is 12 cm exactly, but still, the Tube wasn't staying on the hole at all, i had to apply some glue anyway.

Using Cajon like a kick drum
We wanted a good portable kick drum sound for a small folk outfit. Removed the snare wires and packed a cheap cajon with padding, using a padded kick pedal. It sound ok, but a bit flabby until we added the bass tube. This thing has the effect of focussing the sound, pushing the subs and making the whole thing more manageable.

Schlagwerk CBT10 Cajon Bass Tube
OK product... but I actually prefer the bass of my Cajon when sticking a blanket inside it!

Not suitable for my Fineline Comfort Mocca
When mounted (was easy) it reduced (!) the deep bass in my cajon. Maybe it works with other models.

Excellent!
I was unsure about buying this tube as I couldn't find many reviews about it. It is well worth the money, especially if your hooking the Cajon up to microphones like I was. It really focuses the bass tones and gives defined punch and attack!

Great enhancer
I mounted this tube in my cajon - and the effect was really something: fat, juicy, warm sound just by inserting it in the sound hole. No screws or glue, just press it in and go (it´s got a elastic felt/foam ring around the tube that makes the tube stay in place)! Works especially well with kick pedal!
