Take Your Cajon Anywhere with the Viva Rhythm CAJON2GO Cardboard Cajon

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 No Comments

We all know that travelling with a standard Cajon can be awkward. They also take up a lot of storage space in a classroom if you have several for students to use. You can solve both of those issues with the Meinl Viva Rhythm CAJON2GO Cardboard Cajon.

Will it sound as good as a Cajon you spent hundreds of dollars on? No, it won’t. It will, however, be a great-sounding Cajon that is easy to transport, has built-in snare wires, and a deep bass tone. The Cajon is also durable – it will hold up to 330 lbs. The best part is the price – just $19.90* and you’ll have a Cajon that everyone will be asking you about!

We have a few left over from PASIC, so contact us at sales@chopspercussion.com and get one for yourself or your classroom today!
