The Tango Line of Artisan Cajons from Meinl have two groupings of three pre-tuned metal micro-coiled cajon strings that span across the inside of the playing surface to deliver a crisp snare effect. These strings are hand-wound in the style of master cajon builder, José "Pepote" Hernández Diaz with rounded corners and thumb notches on the top of the frontplate and a resonating body to optimize playing comfort and sound. The 7-Ply, 9 mm thick Baltic Birch body develops the sound into a full, punchy tone that projects with clarity and warmth.
