Meinl Jumbo Bass Subwoofer Cajon with Internal Snares

I bought one of these--sight unseen, and obviously, sound unheard. It does not have a nice sound, and I am sending it back. My only other cajon is the A Temp Dos Voces, so all comparisons are made with that. My A Temp has a warmer base, better snare, more snap in the corners, and has a definite gradation from base to open tone , to snare tone, so you can get a wide variety of sounds. This Meinl Jumbo cajon does not compare. Yes, the base is deep, but not warm, not at all, and has sound leaking from the snare. The snare sound at the top is not consistent, some spots are louder and some are less; e.g. the top one inch has no snare sound at all, then it suddenly gets stronger. The snare sounds rather tinny. There is no difference playing on the top middle compared to the top towards the side. The manufacture says the corners are adjustable, but I found they were both dead, and loosing the screws made no difference, nor were there any instructions on how to adjust it. This cajon is made of MDF, not hard wood, and MDF does not produce nice sound---but it is cheaper to make. The A Temp is hard wood and sounds very warm, with some snap in the corners At $200, this Meinl cajon is not so cheap and has no carry case. The A Temp costs about $260, but does come with a carry case. So they fall into roughly the same price range. So to conclude, according to my experience, the Meinl is inferior, by a long margin. I am sadly disappointed, and will go back and buy a new A Temp if I need a new cajon.
