AKLOT Cajon Box Drum Wooden Percussion Box with Internal Adjustable Snares Birch Wood Compact (10 * 10 * 14 inch)

Very nice

I love this drum. I have a larger cajon, but it is cumbersome to lug around. The sound of this one rivals the larger one but is incredibly light to carry. My only dislike is that it did not come with the wrench to adjust the snares, as the description indicated. Definitely not enough to lower the rating, though!

Overall: >This cajon is made of birch. >Comes with a simple but nice padded case. >There is a hex key inside the cajon (I would remove it from the interior slot) >The snare is taped down and can be removed if needed. (If you are going to adjust the snare, you must remove the tape first.) >The wood is perfectly finished and has 4 rubber feet. >The ‘tapa’ and cajon were varnished together. So, it might be a little hard to remove/ adjust the tapa if that is what you want. Sound: It has a good sound; I left the snare taped down… but if you want the full snare sound, you can remove the tape and adjust the tension on the strings. If you want something more powerful you can remove the guitar strings and attach metal drum snares. You could also switch to using a BRC04 brush pad. Is it for Practice? Gig? Or Professional? Well, this is a smaller cajon (10 inch) than the usual 12 / 14 inch. So, I would say that this is more of a practice cajon / learning cajon. OR if you have kids or teens this would be the perfect size for them. Is it worth it? At ~ $89, it is not a bad value (you get the cajon, case and hex key.) Knowing that this might be bought for a total beginner, I do wish there was a small note / or manual explaining what to do with the key and tape. If you buy it as a practice cajon like I did, it will be much cheaper than the other practice cajons out there which are 1/5 the size of this one. Cheers!

As always Aklot delivers a quality beginners instrument to my home. I have personally purchased this brands Ukulele Bass, Ocarina, and now this amazing Cajon Box. The wood quality is really nice, the sound is very pleasing, and the price doesn't make you hurt after purchasing. Anytime I personally want to learn a new instrument, I always check to see if Aklot sells one first. They are a great company that cares and has proven that in the past when contacting them. They always make things right, and wont leave you disappointed. Whenever you want a quality beginners instrument check these guys out first. You won't be disappointed.

Pretty much exactly what you would expect. For $20 it won’t last forever but the tones are nice under my fingers and with a bit of care one could expect a solid 3+ years of life out of it I bet.

Really too small fir adult use.
