In this video I'm demonstrating the Manuel Rodriguez Alegria Cajon. Manuel Rodriguez is actually a renowned Spanish guitar luthier, and uses many of the larger off-cuts from the guitar production process as component parts for his cajons (hence the guitar art on the front).

This is a very traditional-sounding cajon, manufactured in Madrid, Spain. It has a fiber VLC body with a birch front plate, with internal wires for additional snap. The Alegria Cajon has a huge low end sound, and when you factor in the adjustable wires you've got a wide range of sound to explore.

The artwork on the front looks great, and the construction makes this cajon lightweight and easy to play. Get your hands on it, and I'm sure you'll be impressed!
