Designed by Schlagwerk, a European reference in cajons, the RC400 "Rollin" embodies an inclusive approach: delivering a demanding sound experience while removing access barriers. This specialized model stands as an ergonomic version within the range, with particular attention to comfort and stability without compromising timbre.
The RC400 is primarily aimed at musicians in wheelchairs and therapists seeking a reliable, safe, and easy-to-position instrument. Its immediate playability suits both beginners and intermediate players, while its precise response will satisfy experienced percussionists in acoustic settings. It excels in song, pop/folk, world music, and rhythmic awakening workshops.
The adjustable wedges stabilize the cajon and optimize the playing angle when seated, promoting natural hand placement and better endurance. The retention strap secures the instrument during transport or extended sessions. The washable surface facilitates maintenance in educational or medical environments, extending durability. Finally, its compact format and light weight improve everyday handling.
The RC400 relies on a multi-layer birch body renowned for its tonal balance and controlled projection. Birch provides a clear attack and precise gesture articulation, ideal for ghost notes and fast rolls. The bass remains full and defined without bleeding, while the upper midrange delivers a well-defined snare, useful for marking the backbeat.
The differentiation of striking zones is immediate: the lower part produces round bass tones with short sustain, and the upper plate responds with clear, controlled slaps. The result is an expressive cajon that naturally transitions from finger to palm playing, with sufficient dynamic range for small acoustic venues and group sessions.
