Meinl Percussion Cajon Box Drum Bag - Deluxe Professional Large Size with Synthetic Wool Lining - Heavy Duty Padded Nylon Exterior, Shoulder Strap and Strong Carrying Grip, black (MDLXCJB-L)

I spent a bit of time reading the product description of the Deluxe bag and regular. For one...80% or more go with the cheaper version, same company...and I'm sure its a fine bag. To my thinking...as a musician of 55 years of age used to traveling, gigs, others that mean well in helping tear down and so forth...my cajon is special to me, don't plan on buying one to replace it. Want it in great condition wherever I go.This bag is twice the weight as the $49 one...meaning there is some very good protection in the lining, and yes indeed it is. Plush soft cushioning. Conforms and fits the cajon very well. I feel quite safe when I carry this, and for my extra twenty some dollars was well worth the investment; and actually, I took into consideration what my wife might pay for a purse (hee heeee...) and realized this bag wasn't much more than what a woman might pay for a purse. In fact, they may pay well more.My bias admittedly, is...that I imagine the cajon to have more value as contents to be in a bag!!! Oh well...but, I don't believe anyone will be disappointed! Very pleased...

I purchased the Meinl cajon bag to haul expensive composite loudspeakers I use as a working musician. When I initially placed my order I was a little apprehensive; I've been performing for more than forty years, and there have been too many time in the past when I've been disappointed by products that didn't live up to the expectations created by flattering photographs and hyperbolic sales pitches.When I opened the package I was immediately impressed by the craftsmanship, the quality of the materials, the attention to detail, and the protection provided by its tough exterior fabric, the rubberized wear surface on the bottom, and its soft, well-cushioned interior. I plan to order another in a few weeks. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the quality of the Meinl cajon bag; it's a keeper!If I were going to make any recommendations, they would be to explicitly state the size of the largest cajon the bag can carry; clearly differentiate between the interior and exterior dimensions in the product description; provide more photographs; and provide a high-quality luggage tag with each bag.Thanks to Meinl for a great product, and to Amazon for another great purchase!

This case is made of top quality material. It's very durable and the thick interior synthetic wool lining provides excellent protection from bumps and jolts (that said I would not consider checking this as luggage on my next flight). The shoulder strap and carrying handles are very rugged. The zipper is strong and quickly opens/closes. Pay close attention to the interior dimensions when ordering. I carefully measured my drum and expected it would easily fit within the interior. It works fine but it was more snug than I expected.

The materials used in this bag seem to be top notch - good heavy fabric, strong zippers, etc.But I would have preferred closed cell foam padding, rather than the fake sheeps wool that was used. This polyester sheeps wool will compress over time, takes up a lot of room, whereas closed cell foam never compresses, and takes up less interior room.My other complaint with this bag is that it is too big for my Meinel jumble bass subwoofer cajon, even though this bag is what Meinl recommends for that instrument. So the fit of the instrument in the bag is loose and sloppy, plus the bag takes up extra room in my van back-and-forth between gigs.Based on materials alone, I would give a four star rating, but with the bad fit and the poor choice of padding, this bag comes in at three stars.

We bought a mid-level cajon - not really expensive, but expensive for us. And it's always on the move. So we wanted to protect our investment. This is a pretty sturdy bag, and the lining gives me a great deal of confidence that my cajon is safe. Now, I haven't tossed off the boss to see how it really protects the instrument. But the outer nylon is strong and high quality, and they certianly did not skimp on the innner lining. We paid a little extra for this bag, and it's was worth it. I'm very happty with what we got. Side pocket is just enough for brushes and a key. Good bag, and worth the money.

This is constructed of a thick outer cloth with 2 heavy duty hand straps and a clip-on shoulder strap. The inside is a faux wool liner and should be very easy on wood finishes. The hand straps can be joined together with a padded Velcro handle or left by themselves, when they can be used like 2 backpack straps. The pocket is fairly small. I wish it was bigger to carry a few accessories. All in all, this bag is a good buy.

I actually bought this for transporting PA. The base unit of my Harbinger MLS900 line array speaker fits perfectly along with a case of cords etc... The lining is a definite plus for protecting the speaker.

Great bag, ample padding, seems like high quality material all around. The only thing I wish Meinl would change is adding a side pocket big enough for workbooks. The pocket is small enough to only fit keys, wallets or other small items.
