Latin Percussion 1433 Angled CajonThe Latin Percussion 1433 Angled Cajon features a playing surface that is angled outward for added comfort.
This innovated design allows musicians to easily reach down to play bass tones without having to tilt the cajon. This innovative design promotes longer playing sessions, helps prevent trauma after frequent or long gigs, and also creates a more refined tonal palette.
Recording studios are built in an analogous fashion, substituting angles for parallel walls. The LP Angled Cajon also reduces so-called standing waves which creates a wider, more balanced frequency spectrum. This principle may account, in part, for the rich bass, distinct crisp slaps and warm mid-tones prevalent in the cajon.
Timbres are enhanced by specially chosen hardwoods, carefully butted and held in place by adjustable screws. And a nice touch: generous rubber feet liberate frequencies from choking, ensuring that resonant lows, which can equal those of a tumba in the right hands, do not transmit into the floor.
For flamenco ensembles, the LP Angled Cajon is fitted with internal resonating wires for a snare drum-like effect.
