Lots of Tones from One Cajon
The cajon is a diverse instrument. And when you're a session player, you want to find the best tone to match your client's music. That's why we love the Schlagwerk Cajon Agile Dual. Its two matching playing surfaces offer a modern sound with generous bass for acoustic sets and street performances, but also the dry, traditional, tenored tone that typifies Cuban music. You can even transfer the snare mechanism between playing surfaces to find the sound you want. The Schlagwerk Cajon Agile Dual is a professional instrument through and through, boasting an 8-ply handmade birch shell and Gabon wood faceplates for sensitive dynamics.

Modern cajonists owe a great debt to Schlagwerk Percussion. Not only did Schlagwerk popularize the cajon as we know it with the help of Freddie Santiago 30 years ago, but Schlagwerk also introduced the idea of using snare wires to simulate the classic buzz - usually the result of split plywood - heard in these former slave instruments. Every premium Schlagwerk cajon is still handmade in Germany with real German quality and innovation - just as it was when owner Gerhard Priel began building temple blocks in his garage in 1982. When you're ready to take your playing to the next level, Sweetwater stands behind Schlagwerk cajons.
