Sound: This model has two very different sounds. It features a removable snare mechanism with nylon wound strings, so it's a bit less aggressive than the other snare cajones. With the snares on it has a mellow, rootsy sound, with earthy basses; without it is quite similar to a bongo sound. Originally designed under specific request of London's Ensemble Bash, it had to be used without the snares in Cuban music contexts. |
There you have it, two cajones in one without moving from your place!
In cajón Zambo (pat.pend. n. BO2003A000172) the snare is original and patented. The mechanism slides through a steel rail placed on the right side, and it can be finely tuned on the other side by tightening two screws.
Its components can be easily taken off and set to the required tension.
