Fat Congas® Cuban style quinto cajones were designed upon request, for the Munequitos de Matansas during their visit to our shop. The CJST slaptop quinto has a screwed on head which creates a "buzz" effect on the slap tones. The side wings help to stabilize the cajon between the player's knees. This cajon was designed with traditional players in mind.
