Cajon J.LEIVA – OMEYA BASS Studio

We tried to create a cajon with explosive high notes and configurable bass notes without manufacturing a “monster” (measurements) that would be hard to carry. That is the reason why we don’t scrimp in technical investment in J. Leiva Percussion in order to make our ideas come true. And our idea was conceived after many proofs and rehearsals and from there the OMEYA BASS STUDIO “appeared”.

It is a spectacular cajon in sound and design and amazing in technical advances applied to this kind of instrument. So we can offer to the audience the first cajon in the world with configurable bass notes “à la carte” regarding to the frequency (hz) of the bass notes and also regarding to the location: we can get them in the Bass Reflex way (from under the cajon) and the conventional way (conventional opening on the backside).
