Latin Percussion (LP) has created the Bongo Cajon: a cajon design mixed with the higher-pitched acoustic range of bongos. Its straightforward and all-wood construction means no tuning or head replacement - ever.
The LP Bongo Cajon (LP1429) is lightweight and compact in size (15¾" long by 7" wide).
Its textured sides are contoured to fit on a player's lap or held between the knees in the traditional bongo playing position.
The open-bottomed, twin-chambered shell produces two complementary high and low pitches that deliver a convincing "pop" for a genuine bongo-esque sound.
A carry handle is cut into the side of the drum and it comes with a drawstring nylon bag. Bongocero and four time Grammy winner Jorge Gonzalez - currently playing with Ruben Blades and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra - is a big fan of the LP Bongo Cajon. He says:
"The LP Bongo Cajon is attractive and lightweight. It's perfect to take on the road and great for parties. I find it easy on my hands and most importantly they sound good."
