Meinl CA5BK Cabassa

The Meinl CA5BK Cabassa is a professional hand percussion instrument that excels in volume, control and versatility. This medium-sized Turbo Cabassa is designed for both live performances and studio work and delivers a bright, powerful sound that cuts through well.

Thanks to the patented sound port design in the resonant chamber, the cabassa produces significantly more projection than traditional models. As a result, its characteristic rasping sound cuts effortlessly through any mix, even without amplification.

The combination of a stainless steel ribbed cylinder and a smooth steel bead chain provides precise response and a wide range of tonal possibilities. Playing techniques such as twisting, shaking or rubbing each deliver their own dynamics and expression.

The wooden body contributes to a warm, full tone, while the ergonomic handle with soft foam grip ensures optimal playing comfort and control – even during longer sessions.

Key features:

• Medium size for a balanced sound and playability
• Patented sound ports for extra volume and projection
• Stainless steel cylinder and steel bead chain
• Wooden resonant chamber for a warm tone
• Comfortable, foam-padded handle
• Suitable for live and studio applications

The Meinl CA5BK is a versatile choice for percussionists looking for a powerful, expressive cabassa with professional-grade performance.
