Meinl WJC1-M Cajon Jingle Castanet Medium

Add Crisp Jingle Accents to Your Cajon Setup

The Meinl WJC1-M Cajon Jingle Castanet Medium is designed for players who want to expand their cajon sound with an extra layer of percussive detail. It combines a wooden castanet click with a pair of stainless steel jingles, giving you a sharp attack followed by a light metallic shimmer.

The Siam Oak body produces a warm, defined click, while the steel jingles add brightness and movement to each hit. Compared to a standard cajon surface, which focuses on low-end thump and snare-style slap, this adds a higher-frequency accent that helps your playing stand out in acoustic or unplugged settings.

The spring-opened design makes it responsive to different finger techniques, so you can control how much jingle and attack you bring into the sound. The hook-and-loop fastener allows you to place it anywhere on your cajon or other surfaces, making it easy to experiment with positioning and response.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this is ideal for cajon players who want more tonal variety and articulation, because it adds a crisp, controllable layer without changing your core playing style.
