This cajon sounds and looks terrific. It would be perfect for my gigs. I like the inputs and the volume/tone controls. Plus, for such a quality product, the price point works. I'm probably going to purchase it. That'll be my 5th cajon! It's hard to stop. Thanks Felipe for this and all your cajon vids!

@tonystonecoldcountry7064 Жыл бұрын
Pro: I like the front plate. Con: What were they thinking? Would have bought if they put the electronics in the back so cord is not coming out the side. Cleaner look and does not get in the way. Also if you need to turn up to 8 or 9 they need to change to a better pickup. At $350 Dealbreakers. Thank you. Enjoy your videos.

Thanks for your great videos! I have a question slightly off topic. I'm considering purchasing either a Gon Bops AACJSE Alex Acuna Special Edition Cajon or the Meinl Artisan Buleria Line Cajon in the Lava that you reviewed. It seems that the Gon Bops has a more separated bass sound as the wires are diagonally up top. The Buleria seems to have more snare down low but it sounds very good based on your review. Do you have any recommendation that would steer me to one over the other?
@CajonMaster Жыл бұрын
The Buleria Line is a great Cajon with a good price. I never played the Gon Bops. It would be nice if you could test both and choose the one you like best.

Thanks for your detailed review, on your recommendation I just bought this cajon and struggling to get the sound I want in the mix (looped with keys and vocals). For one mic in the back, would you recommend a sm 57 or b 52? The music is for pop gigs. Many thanks!
@CajonMaster 4 ай бұрын
if is just 1mic, the 57 is a good choice. With this cajon when I play live I use the pick up medium tone and mid volume and the 57 in the back.

Hello Felipe, thank you for this very nice review! I'm wondering about the Link out in the pickup, do you know what is it for? Thank you in any case :)
@CajonMaster 5 ай бұрын
Hi 👋 the link option is when you don’t want to use the preamp of the pickup. For example, if you plug the cajon in an amp using the link option the control of volume and EQ will be done in the amp. When you use the other option line, the control of volume and EQ will be done in the pickup.

How well does this cajon do in the mix? I've put my basic cajon, believe it or not, in metal songs and sounds good, but mixing can be difficult to be able to hear it stand out. I love the idea of having a pickup cajon to record directly and not deal with microphones and stands. :-)

Hi Felipe. I see that Meinl makes a couple of other PickUp Cajons, but I'm undecided. How does the Artisan compares to the vertical subwoofer model? what are their key differences? Sound? Low end? Is the pick up better in the Artisan, hence the slight higher price? I generally play rock and pop acoustic gigs so your knowledge and recommendation would greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the great content!
@CajonMaster Жыл бұрын
Hi! The Artisan pick up is my favorite among other Meinl Cajons with pick up. I cannot say if the pick up is better than the others, it works just fine for me. It’s my gig cajon, I use it all the time. It’s a bit more expensive because of the cajon itself. It’s a handmade cajon made in Spain and it sounds great 👍🏻 highly recommend it 😉

The great thing about playing the cajon . It doesn't matter your just keeping a beat to the music. People are not going to stand back and say I cant get into this music the cajon does not sound right. If you jam with good musicians you can play a cheap one. People won't notice cajon players or musicians that play with one may notice.
@brainmushart561 11 ай бұрын
The pickup seems a lot darker, kind of cuts out some of the high-end noise, which in my opinion is a little dull. Sounds processed like its bean overly compressed.
