Agile & Super Agile
|
Agilis is a Latin word meaning “easily moved”. The word “agile” has developed from this in many languages as a synonym for energy, ease and liveliness. A fitting name for Schlagwerk’s new cajon series. The technical core is formed by a removable element for creating an exceptionally fast and precisely responsive snare sound.
This sensitive attack is produced in the base & dual models using a snare carpet. In the pro models a flexible damping system combined with adjustable string tension ensures a very agile attack. For other Agile Models, you can special order them at the following prices : Agile Dual Red - $320 Super Agile Cappucino - $360 Super Agile Rustique - $440 |

2inOne
|
It works like this: spirals inside the Cajon press against the playing surface at a precisely defined angle. When the surfaces are played, the spirals vibrate in a controlled manner and produce a modern snare-cajon sound. The spiral technology can be removed from the 2inOne Cajon in one quick movement. The Cajon then produces the traditional Cuban sound.
For other 2inOne Models, you can special order them at the following prices : 2inOne Medium - $275 2inOne Dark Oak/Barista - $330 2inOne Dark Oak Soft Touch - $350 2in One Wenge Deluxe - $365 |

Precise OS
|
The abbreviation OS in Schlagwerk’s Precise OS and Urban OS cajon ranges is in a class of its own: OS (Open sound and fully Screwed playing surface) is a new, innovative feature in the Schlagwerk cajon universe. The most apparent feature in the OS models is the new, fully screwed playing surface. During development, vibration points were determined and used to find the best positions for the screws so that the innovative screw pattern could be designed. The resulting effect is, on the one hand, an extremely direct snare response. But on the other hand, this special design coupled with the reduced contract surface has created a very open basic sound. Thanks to the convenient design, the additional reinforcing bars on the inner sides boost the strong bass in the OS models without interfering with the sensitivity of the snare response.
For other Precise OS Models, you can special order them at the following prices : Precise OS Dark Santos - $385 Price OS Oak Classic -- $405 |

Wind Chimes
|
Wind Chimes can set body and senses in motion while having a positive influence on our well-being. Our Wind Chimes come in three different prevailing moods. Based on a tonic keynote, they are tuned in pentatonic sequences which give each one its own individual sound character. Most of the moods are based on planetary tones and have been set in audible frequencies by transposing an octave above or below. The oscillatory nature in the higher tonal ranges and the harmonious tonal images are the distinguishing features of these wind chimes. Each one of the Schlagwerk wind chimes has been tuned to a pure interval with high precision measuring instruments.

Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Shiva Shakti
SGD127.00
"The sound of the fusion of sun and moon Round, warm tones that lead to a fusion of contrasts. These wind chimes come in two tonic notes in thirds (approximately equal to our western scale notes G# and B) with their corresponding fifths and octaves. Shiva Shakti is the union of the planetary tones (according to mathematician Hans Cousto) of the sun and the moon
Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Day Tone
SGD127.00
The sound of comfort Tones that create emotional warmth, provide strength and give a offer a sense of security. The atmosphere is created by an extract from the harmonic series (A). The brain then expands this by several tones: the low range in particular is perceived especially strongly by our subconscious. It stands for strong vitality and frees anyone trapped in the greyness of the daily grind.
Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Sun Tone
SGD114.00
The sound of light Tones that strengthen the consciousness and trigger positive energy. The clearly defined pentatonic (C D E G A C) on the sun tone (tuned somewhat lower than the Western C) unites the body and mind in total harmony. The positive prevailing mood strengthens the consciousness. Clear, almost transparent overtones increase intensively in the high range.
