About this item

  • El Artesano is a cajon that balances the best sonic characteristics of both a traditional cajon and a Flamenco cajon. It has a warm, booming bass as well as a snappy slap tone.
  • To achieve this balance, this cajon features snare wires designed and placed to reduce their sound when playing the bass tone without sacrificing any snap on a slap tone.
  • Artisans painstakingly create the panels for the body of the cajon by selecting and using individual pieces of hardwood. Once the panels are created, the cajon is built using dovetail joints and then finished in a durable satin finish.
  • Crafted by hand in Peru by A Tempo Percussion, this cajon is the exact same cajon as Sol Percussion El Artesano - only the logo has changed.
  • Includes a free gig bag.

  • Product Description

    A Tempo Percussion's El Artesano Cajon is made by A Tempo in Peru, a country considered by most to be the birthplace of the cajon as an instrument. The body of this cajon is made from select pieces of solid Mohena, American Muskwood and Tropical Walnut with a multi-ply Spanish Cedar and Lupuna playing surface and resonant side. El Artesano Cajon features snare wires designed and placed to reduce their sound when playing the bass tone without sacrificing any snap on a slap tone. The result is a cajon that balances the best sonic characteristics of both a traditional cajon and a Flamenco cajon. Free gig bag included!

    Gorgeous, functional, sturdy, perfect!
    I bought this Cajon with no experience with percussion whatsoever. I’m a classically trained trumpet player and singer who had this instrument as a side table and would goof around with it to let off some steam after a hard week. With pressed board cajon’s selling for nearly the same, the quality workmanship was a no brainer. It’s a stunningly crafted instrument.After a couple years of just having fun with it I joined an acoustic group that wanted a little drum to polish the sound. I sing harmony and have fitted this with a direct drive pedal and with a little practice it sounds a lot like a basic set. As my experience has grown and I’ve started performing, I’ve really understood the difference between this and other cajon’s available. This is an incredible instrument! I’ve played other more expensive cajon’s but this has the best soft thumping bass with the pedal or finger tips. The snares are mounted in the corners and are tuned to perfection for most applications. Don’t waste your money on a soulless box with a brand logo stamped on it. This is a lovely instrument that you can enjoy casually or grow into if you’re a serious musician.
