MEINL DESIGNER SERIES PERCUSSION

surface and lip to stop your

MEINL BIRDS/
WATERFALL.
A fabulous sound effect
simulatingthe sound of a
cascading waterfall
quite overwhelming, which you may not like,
so compare it with one of Meinl’s many other
Cajons before you make your mind up.
The Bongo cajon is the revelation here. The
inherent problem with most weighty bongo
sets is that they’re tough on the legswhen
playing them for extended periods between
your knees. This new lightweight Meinl
invention affords hours of painless but hugely
rewarding playing possibilities! The bottom is
contoured so that youcan rest them on a
table top or lap without fear of them slipping.
The tapa is also comfy for long jam sessions.
Verdict
Meinl has succeeded in producing a variety of
top quality and superb sounding instruments
that arefun to playand, in the case of the
wonderful Bongo cajon, highly affordable too.
Despite my reservations about the ‘dancing
girls’ graphic on the congas, everyone else
who saw them actually quite liked it. The
TRY IT WITH...
Turbo cajon is not cheap but with this level of
craftsmanship, innovative top edges and all
housed in luscious red oak, it actually offers
great value.
