Meinl Percussion introduces two 'Make Your Own'-construction kits. First, the world’s first Bongo Cajon Construction Kit, and second a Cajon Construction Kit. While the Bongo Cajon is one of Meinl’s most popular instruments the company also releases a package to build a cajon yourself.
According to Meinl, the assembly of both the Bongo Cajon and the Cajon is very easy. The enclosed instruction manual will guide you through the building stages step by step. At the end, the finish of the instruments can be customized by adding oil, lacquer, wax or paint which will provide a totally unique and personal design to the instrument.
The wood used for the instruments is Birch (Betula) which ensures a powerful and warm sound. It comes with all of the parts and a list of the materials and tools needed for assembly. The instruction manual is issued in seven languages (German, English, Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese and Chinese).
