The MEINL Ergo-Shape Pedal Cajon has a Bubinga frontplate and is made to an ergonomically curved body/frontplate design, providing enhanced playing comfort without affecting the sound. The main body's rubberwood construction gives it a warm natural reasonance. The snare on this model is controlled by a patented mechanism using a foot pedal. You can adjust the amount of snare effect on the fly, even turning it off and on, without interrupting your groove. A neoprene rubber pad on top makes sure you won't slip off and the rubber feet will keep it in place.
