The Workhorse Cajon, part of Toca's Bass Reflex line of cajons, lives up to its name by delivering a surprisingly affordable instrument with a full tonal palette. Featuring a bass reflex port, the low-end performance of the Workhorse Cajons exceeds that of a cajon with a simple hole. The tuned port works by reshaping air flow relative to lower frequencies, thus enhancing sustain.The cabinet is made from highly durable MDF, an engineered wood product. Thanks to its density, MDF produces a rigid cabinet with excellent projection. It will hold its shape despite quick shifts in temperature and humidity and will suffer trauma gladly, making it the perfect drum for the road. Available in a choice of walnut or mahogany stain for a surprisingly classy look for such a modestly priced cajon.
