The CP70 "Supernatural" follows the line of accessible cajons from Schlagwerk, a German brand renowned for its consistent sound and rigorous craftsmanship. Designed to deliver the essential expertise of the workshop, it streamlines processes without sacrificing the tonal DNA of the brand: a clean, musical sound that is easy to place within an acoustic set.
This model is aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want to progress with a reliable instrument, while also suiting experienced percussionists for rehearsals, home studios, and intimate stages. It excels in pop, folk, world music, modern flamenco, and any acoustic accompaniment where a natural and expressive rhythmic foundation is sought.
The CP70 focuses on essentials with fixed and preset snare wires for stable response, an optimized SPL (Sonic Projection Lignum) body for projection, and a non-slip coating ensuring playing stability. Slight aesthetic variations may occur from one unit to another, without any impact on the sound signature.
Birch is a classic choice for box percussion: it offers a clear attack, fast transients, and a bright midrange that highlights ghost notes as well as accents. On this CP70, the tapa delivers a crisp and articulate snare sound with precise finger articulation, without excessive harshness.
The SPL design enhances bass focus: the lows are full-bodied yet controlled, with good frontal projection that remains balanced in acoustic settings. Factory preset snare wires reduce unwanted overtones and promote a clean timbre, ideal for nuanced playing from fingertip taps to full palm strokes.
