J.Leiva - Alma Green Oiled Waxed

The J. Leiva Alma Green Oiled Waxed Cajon is for percussionists who appreciate materials in their most natural state. Here, wood remains at the heart of the experience. Rather than a thick or elaborate finish, J. Leiva has chosen a treatment based on natural oils and resins that allows the character of the material to shine through.

You feel this approach as soon as you sit down on the instrument. Contact with the wood is more direct, more organic, which contributes to a feeling of closeness to the playing. In an acoustic context, during an intimate rehearsal or a concert where every nuance counts, this type of response creates a particularly pleasant relationship between the musician and his Cajon.

In terms of sound, the Alma Green Oiled Waxed develops a balanced personality. The bass has depth and roundness, while the treble remains present without becoming aggressive. This sound signature makes it a natural accompaniment to guitar, vocals or other percussion without taking up too much space in the mix.

Its construction is based on a seven-ply Russian birch chassis combined with a 3mm Russian birch soundboard. The D.T.S. system with four externally adjustable strings makes it easy to adapt the timbre to the needs of the musician. With its natural finish enhanced by a distinctive green silk-screen print, the Alma Green Oiled Waxed is as much about playing feel as it is about the authenticity of its materials.
