Very happy with it. **Q: Does the mahogany make it sound better over the cheaper rubberwood one?** A: Absolutely! I get great lows and nice snare slaps from the mahogany. There's nothing like the real wood feel. **Q: does it have a matte finish?** A: yes **Q: The photos show two different colors on the front. the description says "stained american white ash." is the front a darker stain or a lighter stain?** A: Due to the natural differences in wood, it may appear slightly lighter or darker than pictured. HCAJ1NT is very light as another person mentioned.

I am not a 'drummer' as such but as long as you can keep a good beat along with the rhythm, i believe you could use this.The basics are simple but the first thing you need to do is reach inside for the small allen key.Its attached to the inside and you need to loosen the bottom of the cajon as there is a piece holding the wires inside tight, for transporting it. You loosen it by about half a turn or more depending on the sound you need.The easiest way to explain 'as a beginner' myself, is that there are 3 main areas you hit with the flat of your hand. This gives a base sound and two snare drum sounds. Technically that's not true as there are many sounds you can achieve but I am a beginner myself.I suggest youtube to learn some patterns but I have had it for a week now and fell comfortable now with my progress.The cajon is well made and looks good. The sound is superb. It has a good bass drum sound and the snare sound is excellent. Our drummer tried it and he said he thought it was a good piece of kit.Our intention is to mic the unit up and play through sound desk but its also loud enough to play at home or for an intimate gig with friends.I read a few reviews which stated the Cajon was damaged on arrival. Mine came well packaged in a really sturdy box. For the money, I would certainly recommend it. Good for beginners or professional players.Please note that I am not a drummer. I play table top drums much to the annoyance of my better half, therefore some of the terminology I use in my review, may not be accurate as such. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound and great quality. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 June 2019* Not all boxes are the same! This is very good quality and for the money, was very good value. The finish on the sides, back and top are done in a very durable black finish and the main 'skin' is stained to a lovely brown with the wood grain showing through.The Cajon comes with its own adjustment Allen key for the drum springs and there is a cool little holder for this at the back, just insider the sound hole.All in all it is a great package, very well built and looks the part. Meini, obviously have a history with percussion instruments. This unit can also be expanded with a bass pedal and a mini snare drum. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loads of fun. Needs a good tuning when it arrives *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 July 2017* Loads of fun. Needs a good tuning when it arrives. Check online for guides. Mine didn't come with an Allen's wrench.Edit: after playing this Cajon for a few weeks, I've found the bass to be very rattly despite all the available tuning options. I would advise beginners to go for a Cajon with strings positioned at the top of the box only, such as the schlagwerx range available on Amazon. I played the latter alongside my own and found it to be much more well designed and it produced a better sound overall. ## Frequently Bought Together - Meinl Percussion Headliner Cajon Instrument - Compact Drum Box with Snare and Bass Sound - Playing Surface American White Ash (HCAJ1AWA) - Meinl MSTCJB Cajon Bag, Black - Meinl Standard Cajon Stick & Brush Brush (SB305),Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/49887120-meinl-american-cajon-black-white-ash](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/49887120-meinl-american-cajon-black-white-ash) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
