Meinl Pickup Slap-Top Cajon – Amplify Your Groove

Model: PTOPCAJ4MH-M | Finish: Mahogany

The Meinl Pickup Slap-Top Cajon from the SlapTop Series is a modern take on the traditional cajon, engineered for comfortable playing, powerful projection, and easy amplification. Whether you're performing in an intimate acoustic setting or plugging into a sound system, this cajon gives you full control over your tone and volume.

Built with a mahogany playing surface and a unique slap-top design, it places the striking surface in your lap, allowing for natural posture and ergonomic play. Inside, dual fixed snare wires deliver crisp snare articulation, while the center of the surface produces deep, punchy bass tones.

What truly sets this cajon apart is the built-in passive pickup system, complete with individual snare and bass volume controls and a high-quality output jack. This gives you the ability to shape your sound when amplified without relying on external EQs. A forward-facing sound port ensures strong projection when played acoustically.
