Great cajon! I used to have a full size snarecraft meinl cajon, but sold it. Ever since then, I've been regretting that. So I'd figure I get this one, because it's somewhat smaller and had a piezo pickup which would be easier for recording. Let me tell you, it is as loud as my full size one I used to have. Maybe a LITTLE less bassy then a full size, but still enough UMF to hear things shake and annoy people if necessary. Now... the pickup is nothing amazing, but with some EQ, compression, and maybe a touch of reverb it can be better. Not outright horrible, not absolutely amazing, but somewhere in the middle. Now I don't wanna discourage anyone from getting this because of the size or the pickup. I'm about 6 foot, and it's a comfortable height to me. And the pickup isn't (again,) great, but it is -with a little patience,- workable.
