CAJONS
THE HISTORY OF THE CAJON

The Cajon, which is the Spanish word for box, has been part of Afro-Peruvian music since the 19th Century.
The instrument originated in colonial Peru, when the slaves whose African drums had been forbidden by their
masters, used wooden boxes intended to hold fruits or overturned drawers to play their rhythms on.
The Cajon’s later development can be clearly traced back to one man, the Flamenco guitar player Paco de
Lucia, who took the Cajon to Spain. Its short staccato sounds makes it perfect for Flamenco music, because it
naturally relates to the footwork and hand-claps (“palmas”) used in Flamenco.
Since the Cajon’s historic migration from Peru to Spain, its use has spread worldwide. Today it is found in
literally every musical genre and is often used during unplugged gigs or softer songs to replace an entire drum
kit. Besides the drum set, it is the most versatile rhythm instrument available and should not be missing in any
drummer’s- or percussionist’s arsenal.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE SNARE WIRES

To equip a Cajon with fully adjustable snare wires is an original MEINL innovation
and proves yet again MEINL’s leading R/D status in the worldwide percussion
scene. The snares touch the frontplate from the inside and deliver the classical
Cajon sound, which is requisite in Flamenco music. A knurled knob adjusts
the amount of pressure used to press the snares wires against the frontplate.
Rattling ranging between light and sensitive to very loud can be achieved through
adjustment. The entire snare unit can even be turned off completely.
BUILT IN SIZZLE EFFECT

MEINL Cajons feature a built in adjustable sizzle effect. Guitar strings which touch the
frontplate on the inside and span from top to bottom, deliver a sensitive rattle that
can be adjusted to fit various musical applications.
ADJUSTABLE FRONTPLATE
Being able to adjust the frontplate and therefore allowing the player to customize
the amount of snap desired, is another feature that Cajons from MEINL percussion
offer. This adds versatility to the sounds that can be played and ultimately allows
the player to use the MEINL Cajon in a wide variety of musical settings.
FIBERGLASS FRONTPLATE
MEINL is once again proving its leading position in utilizing new materials to create
new sounds. Using premium fiberglass to construct the frontplate of a Cajon not
only offers a drastic new look to it, but at the same time offers many new sound
options which are not possible through the use of traditional materials.
CONGA CAJON
Building upon the outstanding features of the traditional Cajon, the MEINL Conga
Cajon is an innovative variation on a theme. It enables the player to combine
traditional Conga and traditional Cajon patterns, consequently creating new
sounds and musical ideas. Another great advantage is that it can be incorporated
into a drum set configuration and can be played with the hands or brushes while
sitting comfortably on the drum chair.

BONGOS
FREE RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The Macho and Hembra are no longer attached
to each other by a wooden block mounted
between the shells spoiling the resonance of
the instrument. Whereas with the patented
MEINL Free Ride Suspension System the two
drums are firmly attached utilizing the bottom
rims which results in not having to drill into the
bongo shells. It allows for the firts time ever,
freely resonating bongo shells.
TRUE SKIN COW HEADS

The original MEINL True Skin Cow Heads are the perfect
sounding hides for bongos and meet all requirements demanded
by professional players. They have outstanding sound qualities,
are easy to tune, resistant, and have a smooth surface for
comfortable playing. True Skin hides are selected by specialists.
After the selection process, each skin is gently tanned using
a special MEINL procedure and then mounted by hand to
become a first class True Skin Head.
RESONANCE SHAPING AREA

The MEINL Resonance Shaping Area is a fine solution to
enhance the resonance of the bongos. The center part of the
two bongo shells are crafted thinner than usual while still
maintaining its full stability. The result is a superior timbre and
better resonance of the instrument.
SSR
The MEINL Safe & Sound-Rim (SSR) for bongos features a
rounded profile to support a comfortable playing feel and to
assist in the prevention of palm injuries.
TTR
The MEINL Traditional-Tuning-Rim (TTR) for bongos represents
the traditional "Cuban Style". They are narrowly placed around
the shells and enhance the overall bongo sound.

LUIS CONTE, USA (Phil Collins)

CONGAS
RUBBER WOOD (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.)

The traditional plantation of rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-
Arg) in Thailand meets all ecological requirements. In a natural
evolution, new trees are planted and the older ones, which have
ceased to provide latex, are harvested. In this way, plenty of raw
material is available and the valuable rain forest eco-system is
preserved. In addition to rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-
Arg.), we also utilize American White Ash (Fraxinus americana L.)
which also meets all the CITES-regulations set in the "Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and
Flora".
FIBERGLASS
Many percussionists prefer the sound of fiberglass instead of wood,
because fiberglass produces a more compact sound with an appealing
spectrum of overtones. Premium fiberglass is manufactured by hand
laminating layer upon layer which requires extreme patience and
dexterity. The result is a truly professional instrument with a unique
sound quality.
TRUE SKIN BUFFALO

MEINL True Skin Buffalo Heads are without a doubt the perfect
choice for both wood and fiberglass congas due to their structure,
thickness, and sonic characteristics. True Skin hides are selected
by specialists. After the selection process, each skin is gently tanned
using a special MEINL procedure and then mounted by hand to
become a first class True Skin Head.
SSR
The MEINL Safe & Sound-Rim (SSR) for congas features a rounded
profile to support a comfortable playing feel and prevents palm
injuries.
TTR
The MEINL Traditional-Tuning-Rim (TTR) for congas represents the
traditional "Cuban Style". It is narrowly placed around the shell and
enhances the overall conga sound.
CONGA SAVER
The patented Conga Saver is truly a MEINL innovation. Available in
8 mm and 10 mm versions, they are placed over the conga lugs to
prevent them from damaging and scratching the shell while the
conga remains fully tunable.
FLOATUNE® TUNING SYSTEM

The Floatune® Tuning System is an unique feature and truly another
MEINL innovation. It is mounted without having to drill into the shells
and allows them to vibrate freely.

ARTIST SERIES
Grammy-winner Luis Conte is an acknowledged master of percussion. His celebrated career
includes touring and/or recording with some of the greatest names in contemporary music, including
Madonna, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Santana, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, Backstreet Boys,
Ray Charles and Cuban legends Arturo Sandoval and Chachao. He can also be heard on the scores
and/or soundtracks to movies such as Mission Impossible, Rain Man, Disney’s animated Tarzan,
and many more.
Throughout 2004 and 2005 Luis has been on Phil Collins‘ “First Final Farewell Tour” complementing
the band and Phil’s music with tasteful and musical percussion parts. The tour has been captured
on film and a DVD, “Phil Collins – Finally…The First Final Farewell Tour” has been released.
All of Luis’ specifications have been achieved with the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Signature
Congas. They combine the charm and sound of the old traditional Cuban drums with modern features
and innovations. The congas are equipped with traditional rims and are mounted as close to the
shell as possible, and when combined with MEINL’s True Skin Buffalo Heads, enable an even more
controlled sound and easier tuning.

MIPA AWARD FOR MEINL ARTIST SERIES
LUIS CONTE SIGNATURE TIMBALES
The “Musikmesse International Press Award” is annually
presented by 55 music magazines from all over the world

categories.
In 2000 the MEINL Artist Series Luis Conte Timbales won the
MIPA Award in the “Best Percussion Product” category.

TIMBALES
DIVERSITY IN MATERIALS
MEINL has a great variety of different sounding timbales due
to the diversity of materials used in making the shells. Available
models include German B8 cymbal bronze, solid brass, stainless
steel, black powder coated steel, chrome plated steel, and
brass plated steel.
HAMMERED SHELLS
Extensively hammered shells (Artist Series Luis Conte Timbales)
provide the classic dry cascara sound and support the sharpness
and projection of the drums.

The patented Floatune ® Tuning System works without having
to drill into the shell (Artist Series Amadito Valdès and Floatune®
Series timbale models). The bottom rim is positioned around
the shell before the bottom is flanged. When the head is tensioned
the lower rim is drawn upward against the tuning flange and
the head and upper rim are drawn downward over the shell.
FLARED OUT BOTTOM EDGE

The Cuban Style flared out bottom edge increases the projection
of the timbale (Artist Series Luis Conte and Professional Series
Timbales).
WORKED IN FLANGES AND CAST BRACKETS

Two flanges are worked into the shell to increase stability.
Brackets cast from special brass alloy (Artist Series Luis Conte
and Professional Series Timbales).
APPLYING THE LOGO FROM UNDERNEATH THE

HEADS (PATENT PENDING)
All MEINL timbale heads are now being manufactured with the
MEINL logo applied onto the head’s surface from underneath
(patent pending).
Both drummers and percussionists alike have experienced the
same annoying situation with plastic heads: Extensive playing
causing the colour of the logo-print to wear out. Not only does
it create an unattractive look, but moreover the colour clings to
the tip of the drumstick resulting in unwanted black stains that
appear on other drumheads, cymbals, or other instruments.
This new and original MEINL innovation prevents the colouring
of the logo from wearing off and helps to keep your other
instruments nice and clean.

which mixes Afro rhythms in 6/8 with the son syncopated
rhythms in 2/4. Valdès has worked with all the most important
Cuban big bands since the ‘70s and recorded countless albums
with artists of the stature of Las D’Aide, Paquito Revera, Emiliane

LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIALS

Samba is mostly played in the streets while marching along
to the rhythms of the music. Therefore it is essential that the
weight of the instruments is as light as possible, ensuring
hours of comfortable and ergonomically sound playing without
lacking power and projection.
Beginning and professional players alike will appreciate the
fact that MEINL percussion is using only light weight, yet
durable and robust aluminum for crafting Surdos, Repiniques,
Caixas, handheld Bells and Samba Shakers.
COUNTER SUNK BOLT HEADS

The attention to detail is what sets MEINL percussion
instruments apart. Counter sunk bolt heads on all MEINL
Repiniques and Surdos allow for energetic playing without
having to worry about the bolt heads of the tuning lugs being in
the way of the beater. Little details that make all the difference
in the world.

The patented MEINL Floatune ® Tuning System makes
drilling holes into the shell unnecessary while enhancing the
resonance of the drum and increasing its projection.
STAND ALONE SURDOS

Having a Surdo hanging around the player’s shoulders and
neck can be exhausting when played that way over a long
period of time. MEINL percussion offers stand alone Surdos
that are equipped with sturdy legs placed on the floor while
playing.
APPLYING THE LOGO FROM UNDERNEATH

instruments nice and clean.
WIDE RANGE OF SAMBA ACCESSORIES

To complete the assortment, a wide range of accessories such
as bags, sticks, beaters and a belt are offered for all MEINL

ALUMINUM JINGLE SHAKER
The MEINL Jingle Shaker (designed by Juan Carlos Melian) has two
pairs of steel jingles which are attached in one row to an octagonal
aluminum shaker. The effect and possibilities of this idea are enormous:
Start off by playing the shaker with the jingles facing up. By tilting the
shaker 90° to the front, the jingles will start to click on the beat. And
by simply tilting the shaker 90° back, the jingles will start to click off
the beat. This gives one the ability to completely change the feel of a
song instantly by a simple twist of the wrist.

THE SAFETY
NINO ® instruments have been tested by the Landesgewerbeanstalt Bayern, Germany (LGA), Institute
for the Testing of Goods and Quality Monitoring and have been awarded with the LGA Test Certificate.
This means that NINO® instruments comply with the strict requirements of the European Community
Directives 88/378EC and 87/357/EC.
PRODUCT TESTING
All NINO ® instruments are regularly tested for safety and sanitary harmlessness according to the EC
Directives 88/378/EC (Toy Safety Directive) and 87/357/EC (Imitation of Food).
The tests are carried out by the Landesgewerbeanstalt Bayern, Germany (LGA), a modern testing and
consulting services organization with over 30 branches worldwide.
As a recognized institute for the testing of goods and quality monitoring, the LGA is entitled to award
the GS and LGA test marks which are accepted throughout Europe and internationally as a guarantee
of safety.
NINO® INSTRUMENTS PASS THE FOLLOWING TESTS:

Testing in dependence on the Toy Safety Directive (88/378/EC)
Mechanical and physical characteristics

CERTIFICATION
After passing all tests, the internationally accepted LGA Test Certificate was awarded for all NINO ®
percussion instruments. This certificate vouches for quality and safety.
MATERIAL & ECOLOGY

Wood is a raw material which is present in almost every part of our daily life. Trees are an important
part of the complex eco-system while healthy forests are imperative for the Earth‘s atmosphere.
Only Rubber Wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) is used for the making of NINO ® percussion
instruments. This wood fulfils the CITES regulations („Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora“) and originates from environmentally controlled forests from industrial
wood plantations.
WOOD FROM ENVIRONMENTALLY CONTROLLED WOOD PLANTATIONS

Thailand is a logical manufacturing base for percussion instruments due to the fact that the Hevea
Brasiliensis, which was indigenous to Brazil and later transported by way of England to Asia, has been
commercially grown in Southeast Asia during the last century on plantation farms for the production
of Latex.
The traditional plantation of Rubber Wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) meets all ecological
requirements. In a natural evolution, new trees are planted and the older ones, which have ceased
to provide latex, are harvested. In this way, plenty of raw material is available and the valuable rain
forest eco-system is preserved.
