De Gregorio will debut its new Compass Cajon at the Winter NAMM Show 2014, the world's largest trade-only event for the music products industry, later this month.
The upcoming De Gregorio cajon series is said to be the perfect solution for drummers and percussionists seeking a quality instrument at an affordable price.
Like every DG Cajon, the Compass is handcrafted and Spanish-made.
It features a 3-ply, premium-quality Baltic birch front plate. The body of the Compass is made of medium density wood-fibre composite. This composition allows the mid-priced Cajon to produce a powerful sound with the rich tonal quality previously found only in more expensive instruments.
DG's Compass Cajon's specifications:<
Size: 49 x 29 x 29 cm (19.25 x 14.5 x 14.5 in)
Sides & Back: 10 mm wood-fibre composite with black lacquer finish
Front: 3.5 mm in 3 plies of Baltic Birch, clear polyurethane finish
Snare system: 2 tunable steel strings
