The Meinl Percussion Compact Jam Cajon is a portable, hand-played percussion instrument, made from 100% Baltic birch for full bass and crisp slap tones. Baltic birch delivers naturally balanced sound with punchy lows and clear highs (it’s used in high-end drum sets for serious players). Two sets of fixed steel snares add crisp tone, while a rear sound port enhances bass and serves as a mic spot. Non-slip silicone feet ensure stability and maximum resonance on any surface. Compact and travel-friendly, it’s perfect for jam sessions and easy for anyone to play, regardless of age—no experience required. 10.25″ W x 15″ H x 10.25″ D, 6 lbs. (holds adults). Made in Europe.
