Meinl VivaRhythm VR-CAJ2GO Fold-able Pop Up Cardboard Cajon-2-Go with Internal Snares

It's foldable, made out of cardboard, and less than $30. Don't expect some amazing cajon that you're going to use for a gig.I pack mine into a dry bag and bring it on kayak/camping trips. It's perfect for a little percussion around a fire. It even held up better than expected in the rain one nightAlso: duh, wet swimsuits aren't the best for it. Sit on a towel

This is a rad idea and setup! Sound wise it has a nice crisp snare snap with no buzz rattle like some cajons. Deepish bass notes. A bit quieter than cajons maid of wood, but this rig is ideal for kids and beginners!! Only reason for not a full star rating is I am 260 lb, but I have a little butt, rite away I dented the seat du to my weight being pinpointed on the back flap. Still holds me and all that, but it has a forever butt print now.

You get exactly what you pay for. If they keep the same design and upgrade the materials a little, they can def market a travel cajon for $50-75 and possibly sell lots of them.What to expect: zero projection of sound, low frequency completely dampened and high frequency suffocated because the wires are attached to cardboard.I substituted (cut out) the front panel with an old cajon wood faceplate, still nada.. I presume the back should also be wooden and they could line the inner sides with light metal sheets, but at that point that's a completely different product.Unfortunately a good concept that won't carry you through anything at all; also consider that if gets wet in any measure it becomes an origami.

Broke after a little to hard of a hit

This is an 'experiment' in alternative design. . . . . but just doesn't meet the mark for a real cajon! Don't waste you money on this. . . . . buy a lightweight, or foldable wooden cajon for a real usable sound!!
