Pearl PCJ-633BB Boom Box Cajon, Artisan Red Mahogany

The Pearl PCJ-633BB Boom Box Cajon certainly lives up to its name. This cajon has a fibreglass body that features a bass port on the back, which basically has the same effect as a speaker's woofer, allowing for much more powerful bass. Furthermore, the body is fitted with a fixed snare system for that sharp snare drum-like crack. The frontplate is made of wood and finished with the same Artisan Red mahogany finish that is used on the body, which clearly shows off the beautiful grain. Thanks to its unusual construction, this cajon offers a very direct attack and a beautifully bright sound. It's also very lightweight, thanks to its fibreglass body.
