I've been a gigging percussionist for many years, and cajons have played a major role in that. In my semi-professional opinion, the three best-sounding budget priced cajons are the Pearl Canyon, the LP Black Box and yes, the Meinl Snare Craft. Cajon Master knows what he's talking about here.

[@CajonMaster]

Thanks Tom!

[@tomorr7692]

@@CajonMaster You're welcome. Granted, I haven't tried every inexpensive cajon that's available, so there are certainly others that are noteworthy.

This video helped me decide to buy one like this: Meinl Snarecraft Cajon 80 Almond. Your videos are very helpful. I'm going to use them a lot when I receive the cajon, I think. Thanks a lot man! Greetings from Holland.

[@CajonMaster]

This is great! I would love to see you playing it! let me know if I can help you with anything else 😉

[@iosifpuha6114]

How does the almond one sound? I am leaning towards that choice too

[@soundsforsure]

@@iosifpuha6114 to me it sounds fine, but I'm no pro. I'm not going to record me playing it, but every once in a while I enjoy playing it.

[@iosifpuha6114]

Ohhh Could you review MEINL Woodcraft 15mm Baltic Birch Cajon With Ovangkol Frontplate - WCAJ500NTOV? I'm quite curious. I've found them on youtube but couldn't see anything !!! Please!

[@CajonMaster]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will make it soon 😉

Hello Cajon Master! I’m looking for a cajon that has no buzz on kick and snare, maybe it has no snare. The sound of the LP1443 is what I’m looking for but in a more friendly price range. I’m beginner but I very like the clean kick sound on cajons. Is this snarecraft would be a great choice for me ? (Covering pop songs)

[@CajonMaster]

Hi! thanks for your comment. I would recomment the Snarecraft PRO that has the option of play with or without snare here is the review - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp2ldoeuhpp1o6s

[@winmusique9309]

Hi! what other higher end cajon you could recommend for pop and rock songs?

[@CajonMaster]

All the Meinl artisan cajons are great quality cajons.

[@AnneTarvainen]

Hi, I'm a musician (singer, keyboards) and I want to start learning the cajon. I have never played percussions before. What would you recommend as my first cajon? I've been thinking about these: Snarecraft (100, almond), Snarecraft professional (walnut), Tango Line Limba. I record singer-songwriter style music in my studio. Although initially I would like to play the cajon just for fun and to get some mobility in my hands and shoulders. I do enjoy subtle nuances in sounds, but I wonder if it makes any difference in the early stages of learning, when I'm just practicing basic rhythms? In other words: would the Tango Line cajon be overkill for me, especially as I don't know if my enthusiasm will continue in the long run? Thank you for your awesome videos!!!

[@CajonMaster]

Hi Anne, thanks for your message. The cajon can definitely help you a lot as a songwriter. I would go for the Snarecraft Pro or the Tango.

[@AnneTarvainen]

@@CajonMaster Thanks for your advice! I will get the pro as it is likely more versatile for the recording purposes. While waiting for the shipment to arrive, I will practice with a simple wooden box I found from our garage. 😁 Thank you for being a great inspiration! 💕

[@bijesanpas]

Wonderful playing! Q:Would you recomend Sela various or this one? Similar price point

[@CajonMaster]

They are similar I think, I would go for the SnareCraft because is the one I test and have here is the studio. Try to test in a shop if you can and let me know 😉🙏

[@darrena.marcus8534]

How does size matter on a Cajon? Is it a question of the height of the player?

[@CajonMaster]

Yes, specially for kids and people with short legs. The Snarecraft model comes with 37cm or 45cm or 52cm. This little difference can be helpful for some people, trust me :) thanks for asking ;)

[@iosifpuha6114]

Heyyyy What do you think about the Almond version? (SC80AB)

[@CajonMaster]

There isn't much difference in sound. If you like the sound of the one from the video the almond will be the same, great choice! let me know when you get it ;)

[@iosifpuha6114]

@@CajonMaster okay, thanks! I'm gonna order it

[@ardeloranza719]

Is it good for playing with guitar

[@CajonMaster]

Definitely!

[@willbaldwin5321]

Do you know if the snarecraft 100 is much better than the 80?

[@CajonMaster]

The difference is the size that the 100 has a bit more body but overall they are very similar

[@sahildeore5245]

Lets open the box to see the other box 😅

Is this one for $99 at Guitar Center?

[@backyard3749]

The Heart Ash model shown is $200 (US), not $109. Check the link: the models with Baltic Birch are the ones that are $109. If you select the Heart Ash model (that he is playing), the price is $200. He mentions "sizes" and that he is playing a "medium" cajon, but I see no sizes on the web sites. Sad because I was ready to pull the trigger on one, but all this review did is provide confusing information. Fix it please.

[@CajonMaster]

Hi! thanks for your message. The Snarecraft cajon has 3 sizes. The one from the video is the medium size. This price in Europa today is 103 euros. It's weird that the price in US is $200. Probably amazon change it, don't know why. What I suggest is to look for it in other shops like Sweetwater for example. I found the Meinl Percussion Snarecraft Cajon - Burl Wood (Big model) for $135. Sometimes the prices change from EU to US. Have a look on sweetwater and let me know. P.S. Heart Ask or Burl wood are basically the same model what changes is the front plate color ;)
