Description

Meinl TOPCAJ1MB Makah-Burl Slap-Top Cajon redefines the cajon experience by delivering a full percussion setup in a uniquely ergonomic design. Crafted for comfort and sonic versatility, this slap-top cajon lets players sit upright while projecting sound forward—ideal for intimate acoustic sets, jam sessions, and live performances where space and posture matter.

Materials and Build Quality

The TOPCAJ1MB features a high-quality MDF body and a stunning makah-burl veneer playing surface. This combination offers warm tone, visual elegance, and structural integrity. Internally, the cajon is fitted with dual sets of fixed snare wires for added bite and articulation, delivering crisp high-end slap tones along with deep, punchy bass notes. The textured surface enhances tactile response while the bottom-mounted rubber feet provide stability and resonance control on various surfaces.

Performance and Use Cases

Designed to be played while seated upright—resting the cajon across your lap or on a snare stand—this model directs sound forward toward the audience or microphones, giving it a natural presence in both amplified and acoustic settings. The innovative design allows for side-to-side hand movement, unlocking a wide tonal spectrum. It’s an excellent choice for singer-songwriters, percussionists in unplugged ensembles, educators, and drummers seeking compact, expressive alternatives to a traditional cajon box.
