Meinl El Estepario Siberiano Artisan Edition Cajon AETLEES – Limited Edition

Meinl El Estepario Siberiano Artisan Edition Cajon AETLEES – Limited Edition

Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, the Meinl Artisan Edition Tango Line El Estepario Siberiano Cajon combines Spanish craftsmanship, Baltic birch construction, and a custom string system in a distinctive collector-level instrument created in collaboration with one of contemporary drumming's most recognisable players.

Handcrafted in Spain, the AETLEES features a 7-ply Baltic birch resonating body designed to produce a rich low-end response, crisp upper-register slaps, and clear tonal separation across the playing surface.

A deep matte black finish and custom El Estepario Siberiano frontplate distinguish this limited edition from the standard Artisan Edition range.

Sound & Performance

Two sets of four pre-tuned strings provide the cajon's articulate snare response, giving the instrument definition and sensitivity across different playing dynamics.

The Tango Line construction balances pronounced bass response with crisp slap tones and clear separation between the cajon's primary voices, making it equally suited to detailed finger work, dynamic grooves, and more powerful rhythmic playing.

Handcrafted in Spain

The AETLEES is handcrafted in Spain from select Baltic birch as part of Meinl's Artisan Edition range.

Its 7-ply, 9mm resonating body provides a solid acoustic foundation, while the custom internal snare system and pre-tuned strings contribute to the cajon's responsive and articulate character.

Limited Edition

Created in honour of El Estepario Siberiano, this model is limited to 500 pieces worldwide.

The matte black finish and custom El Estepario Siberiano frontplate give the instrument its own visual identity while retaining the construction and acoustic principles of Meinl's Artisan Edition Tango Line.
