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.

I did a lot of research and they all pointed to this cajon. It's made from the original birth place of cajones Peru. Made by people who grandparent's great grandparents knew about cajons and played cajons. It's like buying a BMW straight from Germany. Those who are BMW fanatics know what I am talking about. The sound is amazing and WAY better than the Meinl Cajon I paid close to $600 which is smaller, looks cheap, sound cheap when compared to this one and didn't come with a bag. They (Meinl) just discovered cajons. I'll be other Meinl products but not cajones. If you want a REAL CAJON get it from the original birth place. I hit the lotto on this one. TRUST THE REVIEWS!
The only draw back I see is that the strings can't be tuned. Trust me on this one, it doesn't need it. I'm just afraid that after so many slaps on the cajon it might get out of tune down the road.
I hope the price stays within the 200-300 dollar range for tempo cajones. They do have a more expensive one around $300 that can be tuned. (Cajones is plural for Cajon in spanish and Cajon means Crate).
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.

Took a leap based on existing Amazon reviews and was not disappointed. The rounded edges really help with the comfort level when sitting on it. This actually sounds just as good in any orientation that I've attempted.
Some instruments have interesting lives, and this one is no different. It was slated to be an end table in my office / music-studio, but now it's played quite a bit.
Impressive, and worth the price.
