J.Leiva Cajon Alma Classé, laquered

J.Leiva Cajon Alma Classé

After the success obtained with the first series, which appeared as a limited edition, Leiva haven’t had more remedy than to keep making it. But not satisfied with just continuing it, Leiva have improved it a 200 %. Without any doubt they have the best cajon on the market in its price segment.

This time again the price is not reflecting the quality of the instrument. Here you have something extremely good, a real “killer”. The most powerful cajon that you can imagine. Super bright and forceful high notes (which in skilled hands can cloud the sight) and a very low frequency bass with an astonishing power … of course inside Leiva philosophy of “non resonance” (aspect which makes the bass sound dirty and ugly in a considerable way; not tolerated by studio engineers nor live-technicians who are looking for a clear balance between bass and high notes and a sharp, clean and blunt bass sound).

In J.Leiva Percussion they have a lot of faith in this cajon since it is “war horse” for the present economic situation. Nor expensive, nor cheap but with a professional sound which can cost around 300 euros or more in other brands.

Its spectacular nature is not given by magic art, Leiva is working in this product range for more than a year but with a special care in this model since they wanted to be able to offer an excellent product at a low price.
