Overall I’m very pleased with this Cajon. Having previously tried and liked the urban OS model and considering one of the build-your-own kits, I took a chance on this Schlagwerk Thomann edition. The build quality is faultless, it’s eye catching and the added seat pad is a bonus. Sound wise I’m also happy. I had to release the screws a little to get a rounder bass tone as it was cranked quite tight on arrival but now it’s sounding full with a nice separation between the bass and snare sounds. I don’t have a lot of exposure to different types of cajon, but this totally fulfils my needs for an aesthetically pleasing rhythm box for acoustic music nights. The whole family loves it.
