Descripción:

The flamenco Cajón is an instrument that due to its sonic characteristics fits very well with other acoustic instruments, since it has the ability to reproduce very low, medium and high sounds. It is usually played with the hands, fingers, or brushes and is used in many styles of music.

Currently it is made in Mohena and Requia woods, it is normally 47 cm high and has a 33 cm by 29 cm base. Thickness goes up to 15mm.

The musician straddles the Cajón, the latter being between his knees. The modern cajon has three screws that allow you to adjust the tone.

The percussionist can achieve additional sounds by using his palms or fingertips to play the cajon. Many times the tone of the drawer is enriched by adding small metal objects inside. For example, in Spain it usually includes three or four metallic strings inside to add resonance.
