About this item

  • HANDMADE IN SPAIN: Meinl Artisan Edition Cajons are hand-crafted masterpieces built in Spain by renown luthier Jose 'Pepote' Hernandez Diaz; no big assembly lines here—only highly skilled small batch construction with the finest wood selections
  • WHY IT MATTERS: Pepote is a master cajon craftsman; he's tested countless wood combinations and varnishes, created a special unbreakable snare string, designed baffles and pop filters—the list goes on; everything he does revolves around chasing the best
  • TONEWOODS USED: a solid tulip poplar body (15 mm) and Brazilian ironwood frontplate deliver outstandingly rich, punchy, and crisp tone; features a wood inlay and extra thick sound port ring for bass note development and projection
  • DRIVING THE SNARE SOUND: spanning the frontplate inside are two adjustable sets of ten custom, hand wound micro-coiled steel cajon strings for a beautifully lush snare tone; includes hex key to tighten/loosen the strings which alters snare response
  • ZOOM IN: the cajon is rounded at the corners and sanded down to form thumb notches where your hands lay in their natural playing position; this gives you exceptional hand contact with more comfort
  • LOOKING UNDERNEATH: six silicone feet keep the cajon stable on any surface (wood, laminate, carpet, brick, concrete); these feet protect the cajon while eliminating vibrations to preserve the instrument's crystal-clear sound quality
  • BY THE NUMBERS: 11 1/2" W x 12 3/4" D x 19" H
  • THE TAKEAWAY: this is a special handcrafted cajon made to be appreciated for its details all around—sound, feel, response, look, and durability; there's no doubt it will serve you your entire life


Featuring a solid Tulip poplar resonating body with wood inlay and a Brazilian Ironwood front plate, The Martinete line offers exquisite sound and appearance. The 15mm thick solid resonating body is equipped with an extra thick sound port ring for bass compression. Inside the Cajon are two sets of ten micro-coiled metal Cajon strings that deliver a snapping snare effect. These strings are hand wound in the style of master Cajon builder, José "Pepote" Hernández Diaz, and each set is adjustable with the included key. Rounded front plate corners and thumb notches allow for greater comfort and playability. Made in Spain.
