Sakae CAJ-100W-BLFD

Product Description

The CAJ-100W-BLFD is a multi-type cajon from Sakae, designed from the ground up to be played on all four panels, including the back and sides. The sturdy frame structure allows for the use of thinner plywood compared to a traditional cajon, which creates a rich harmonic resonance.

The tonality of each striking surface has been fine-tuned to ensure versatility and expressive power by varying the thickness and number of plywood layers. The resonant cords are snare wires, typically found on a snare drum, which deliver a crisp sound and quick decay. The resonator tension can be adjusted at both the top and bottom of the striking surface. For example, you could tighten the lower pitches and loosen the upper pitches so that different tones are produced when you strike different places. Additionally, the front surface is coated, allowing for the use of a brush to deliver maximum playability and expression.

Construction and resonance

The flagship CAJ-100W-BLFD draws its inspiration from the structure of the djembe, with a unique resonance plate never before seen in a cajon, allowing for a signature resonance and ultra-tight low-end frequency response. The arc-shaped resonance plate has been created using drum shell technology, taking advantage of the unique ideas expected from a drum manufacturer.

The CAJ-100W-BLFD perfectly conveys the delicate nuances transmitted by the player's bare hands, capturing the dynamics and true essence of a rhythm instrument.
