Latin Percussion introduce three new cajons: the 3D Cube String Cajon, the LP® Black Box Wire Cajon and the signature LP USA Woodshop Tony Succar Cajon.
The 3D Cube String Cajon is inspired by the artist M.C.Escher, who was the master of illusion, exploring the contrast between the depiction of three dimensional volume on a two dimensional surface. In this spirit, the exterior of this cajon uses solid pieces of dark stained and natural Siam Oak with Indian Lilac wood to create an optical illusion that is both two and three dimensional at the same time. The instrument is slightly wider than a normal cajon, features six angle-mounted strings and a Mahogany sound board. It measures H18 ¼” x W13 ¾” x D11 ¾” and is supplied with its own carry bag.
The LP® Black Box Wire Cajon is based on LP®’s Black Box – winner of DRUM! Magazine’s Drummies! Award for best Cajon. An entry level Cajon, it is constructed with an environmentally responsible eco-board with a Birch / Poplar soundboard. The matte black finish gives the Cajon a polished appearance and its rounded edges are supposed to make it easy to play. It measures H19” x W11” x D10”.
The LP USA Woodshop Tony Succar Cajon was designed in collaboration with percussionist, composer, arranger, bandleader, producer and Latin Grammy award winner Tony Succar. The Peruvian style cajon was features a Chilean Pine body and a Red Meranti soundboard. The signature Cajon is finished with Tony’s initials in bright red. It measures H18 ¾ ” x W13” x D11 ⅝”.
