CaSela - Vintage Red SE 076CaSela Pro - Vintage Red SE 080

Wave: The body parts of the Wave Cajons are made of a new composite material consisting of wood and plastic. This gives the cajon an exceptional strength that influences the sound significantly. Only playing surfaces are used, that suit the body material perfectly in terms of sound and design. The rich distinctive bass and the extremely sensitive response of the snare sound result in a sensational instrument that is unprecedented. The look of the Wave Cajon changes depending on the light incidence in ever-exciting variations. The surface is nonslip, so no additional cajon pad is needed. The transversal grooves structure of the side parts even allows güiro and washboard like playing techniques.

Wave Pro: Simply press the snare lever back for turning the snare sound on or off. The ergonomically optimal position of the lever enables a lightning-fast switching while playing. When the snare is deactivated you get a traditional Peruvian Cajon, with a fine response and conga-like sound.

Insert a secondSela Snare Head formore snare sound!

Sela Snare HeadYour individual sound

Snare Head SE 007 Snare Head Wave SE 017

After years of research we have managed to make the Sela Snare Head better, with an even more differentiated snare and bass separation now.

Thanks to the Sela Snare System, it is possible to insert a second Sela Snare Head. Through that you get a lot of snare. This is especially popular among flamenco players, for latin grooves and for musicians who generally prefer a “crispy”, assertive sound.

With the small piece of foam that is inserted into the hole of the Snare Head the sound of the snare effect can be modified. The more you you pull out the foam, the more snare effect you will get. If you push the foam further inside, the snare effect is dampened and quieter.
