There's much more to LP's Aspire Accents Cajons than meets the eye, beautiful as that may be. To begin with, their 11-¾" w x 12" d x 17-¼" h shells are made of eco-friendly plantation-grown Siam oak renewable wood that's highly regarded for its resonant qualities. Next, they utilize a hybrid design that combines various traditional features in order to achieve optimum musical performance. The front striking plate is secured to the body of the cajon with screws, in the Peruvian style. This allows the plate to be loosened or tightened in order to adjust the amount of high-end "click" produced when the top edge is struck. Meanwhile, the cajon is fitted with two sets of internal wires in the Flamenco style, adding crispness and character to the rich, deep tones produced by the shell.
