LP Cajón Bongó LP1429

The LP1429 combines the best of the sound of the cajón with the tones of the bongo drum, in a very original and versatile hybrid instrument.

Latin Percussion has created an instrument that, instead of being halfway between a bongos and a cajón, goes beyond the two.

The same size as a cajón, the LP1429 is played with the box lying on its side, with it in the lap or placed between the legs. Its lid is divided into two halves that produce two tones - or voices - in an interval like the bongo drum.

It can also be used as a two-voice cajón and widen the sound field of your rhythms. With a great resonant capacity thanks to the choice of materials in its manufacture, the bongó cajón LP1429 stands out among other percussion instruments and makes itself heard perfectly in the hands of applied percussionists.

Easy to carry and very comfortable to play, the LP1429 has a side cavity for easy and very practical handling. The side panels have a specific texture for better grip when placed between the legs and are designed with an angle that allows for great comfort, avoiding the worry that the box will escape during the most explosive interpretations.
