Valter Percussion Cajons
Custom Art.No: VP-CCu The Custom model has a thinner front than the Standard which makes this cajón more responsive and even easier to play. It also gives it a deeper sub-bass tone. Inside, it has the same fixed snare system as the Standard model, and on top of that it is equipped with the new VALTER adjustable snare system™ which is easily adjusted from the outside with the attached hex key (Allen key). You can adjust the amount of snare sound you want while sitting on it. It also features the adjustable sound-hole for pitch variation of the bass tone.
 click here to order Bigbox Art.No: VP-CBB The Bigbox is an enlarged hybrid of the Standard and the Custom. It has the same snare system as the Custom and the same materials as the Standard and is 5 cm longer in every dimension. This creates an extremely deep, round and dry bass. At the same time you can choose the characteristics of the snare through simple hex key adjustments at the side of the box. The Bigbox: when you want the listener to feel the beat in their gut.
 click here to order Basicbox Art.No: VP-CBaB This cajón has a fixed snare system similar to the VALTER fixed snare system™ which is not isolated from the bass tone as in the Standard cajón. The Basicbox is much more playable and has more bass response than other budget cajones on the market.
WhiteBox / BlackBox
INCLINED TO BE PERFECT This new unique line of special designed cajones is the result of percussion designer Valter Kinbom´s long struggle to create a cajon that doesn’t cause the typical backache that is so common among cajon players. By changing the traditional shape of this historic instrument, Valter succeeded making it more comfortable and ergonomic. The basic principle is to make the playing surface come closer to you by inclining the body of the instrument and lowering the level of the seat. All three models are equipped with the new built-in The
witebox 4 VP-WB4, VP-WB4m This is the box for the player that likes the original cubic shape of the instrument but is tired of bending down for playing. The W/B4 has a double VALTER fixed snare system™ and a deep dry bass and snappy cutting snare. Instead of the adjustable sound port, the W/B4 has a new air damper cloth covering the hole. Together with the special treated sides of the box, this takes away unwanted overtones and makes the tone more precise and concentrated. It also reduces the air waves that normally create disturbing sounds when microphoning cajones.

witebox 6 VP-WB6, VP-WB6m The witebox 6 is wider than the WB/BB/4 and the deepest of all three in this line. The result is a much fatter sound. Since the upper corners are rounded out it becomes amazingly comfortable, and with the special designed cushion it’s possible to sit on it for hours without getting a sore bottom. Its front plate is hexagonal which improves comfort while playing and also gives a wider variety of treble sounds than a normally shaped cajón. Your imagination is the only limit.

witebox 8 VP-WB8, VP-WB8m This one has the same inclined profile as the W/B4 and the same snare and sound hole features as well. The combination of the profile and its unique octagonal shape, it opens up a new world for cajon players. Since the upper corners are “cut off” it becomes amazingly comfortable which makes it possible to sit on it for hours without getting a sore bottom side. The octagonal shape gives this instrument the same extended sound spectrum as the Octa-cajon which allows you to vary the sounds of your grooves as never before on a cajon. The W/B8 measures 50x35x35cm which gives it a bass sound closer to the BigBox’s.

Octa-Cajón Art.no: VP-Oct, VP-OctmThe idea behind the Octa-Cajón was to develop an ergonomic flamenco cajón for those who find it uncomfortable to bend down to play a normal cajón. The result was this octagonal cross between djembe and cajón that looks like nothing else, but works exceptionally well within a broad range of World Music styles, (e.g. rumba, samba, flamenco) and also suits newer genres such as hip-hop, R & B, reggae, samba, reggaeton, you name it. The Octa-Cajón is just as the Custom model and the Bigbox equipped with both the fixed and the adjustable snare system to maximize your possibility to vary the sound. Thanks to its octagonal shape, this cajón offers a much wider range of sound possibilities than the normal cajón. The Octa-Cajón is equipped with a carrying handle and fitted with eyelet for attaching a shoulder strap for playing while standing or walking. As an option it is also available with the NEW built-in that allows you to connect directly to your sound device using a cannon plug.

The difference is that the VALTER CongaCajones have a much more powerful bass and are much more playable than conventional congas. Thanks to the two sound ports at the base, the bass sound comes through loud and clear even when the drum stands directly on the floor. The 3mm thick ”wooden skins” are pre-tuned and do not get out of tune from temperature changes, which makes them ideal for outdoor gigs and use at schools, for instance. All three sizes are equipped with a carrying handle.

Bata-CajónsA cross-breed of the Cajón and the legendary Cuban/Nigerian Batá drums, this new model of Valter Percussion BatáCajones sounds amazingly similar to the traditional Batá drums. This thanks to years of experimenting. An important difference though, is that the Valter Percussion BatáCajones are both lighter and easier to play than normal Batás. This, in combination with the smart shape, makes the BatáCajones ideal for those who want to play all three simultaneously! All three sizes are equipped with a nylon strap to keep the drum in position while playing
