- Construction: Baltic birch body with a thin Heart Ash frontplate for clear finger response.
- Snare: Fixed internal snare wires mirror the feel of full-size Meinl snare cajons for added snap and texture.
- Size & portability: Compact (8.75 x 5.75 x 8.75 in), lightweight (1.9 lb), and easy to move between rooms or to lessons.
- Origin: Made in Europe using the same wood types as Meinl’s standard cajons.
- Use: Decorative and playable—designed for tapping, finger rolls, and short practice sessions.
