Easier to reach bass tones, a more balanced sound, and enhanced resonance.
Now that the cajon has become extremely popular, LP designers have set their sights on player comfort,
specifically the angle of stroke required to play a cajon. The top, of course, is flat and provides a stable seat, but the
critical front panel of this cajon is angled outwards. This allows musicians to easily reach down to play bass tones without
having to tilt the cajon. This innovative design promotes longer playing sessions, helps prevent trauma after frequent or
long gigs, and also creates a more refined tonal palette.
19"H x 12"W. Top is 12" D and bottom is 17" D.
The
LP Angled Cajon also reduces so-called "standing waves" which creates a wider, more balanced frequency spectrum. This principle
may account, in part, for the rich bass; distinct, crisp slaps; and warm mid-tones prevalent in the cajon.
Timbres
are enhanced by specially chosen hardwoods, carefully butted and held in place by adjustable screws. And a nice touch: generous
rubber feet "liberate" frequencies from choking, ensuring that resonant lows, which can equal those of a tumba in the right
hands, do not transmit into the floor.
For flamenco ensembles, the LP Angled Cajon is fitted with internal resonating
wires for a snare drum-like effect.
Easier and more comfortable to play and richer in frequencies, the LP Angled Surface
Cajon is another example of LP taking an old idea and tweaking it to perfection.
