OQAN Q - Cadet Cajon for children's musical initiation
The OQAN Q is a cadet-sized flamenco cajón, specially designed to introduce children aged 5 to 10 to the fascinating world of percussion. Made in Spain, this instrument combines quality materials with a design adapted for young children, guaranteeing an authentic and fun musical experience from the very first moment. Its robust construction and versatile sound make it the ideal choice for rhythmic development and musical creativity in early childhood.
The cajon's body is made of MDF, a material that provides durability and balanced resonance, while the playing surface is made of Mukali, a wood known for its flexibility and ability to produce a bright, nuanced sound. Inside, the OQAN Q incorporates jingles that add a rich, sparkling sound, similar to a snare drum, enriching each strike. It also features the ST-1 tuning system, which allows you to adjust the tension of the internal strings to customize the instrument's sound.
With the safety and comfort of young musicians in mind, the base of the cajon is equipped with non-slip legs that ensure total stability during use, allowing the child to concentrate solely on playing and exploring rhythms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cajon suitable for an absolute beginner?
Yes, the OQAN Q is specifically designed for children starting out in music. Its size, weight, and features are ideal for a first experience with percussion.
What is the ST-1 tuning system?
It's a system that allows you to tighten or loosen the strings inside the cajon, behind the striking surface. This modifies the vibration and the "cajon effect" (a sandy or drone sound), allowing you to personalize the instrument's sound.
Does the body material (MDF) affect the sound quality?
MDF is a dense and stable material that provides good resonance and sound projection, especially in the bass tones. Combined with the Mukali top, it achieves an excellent sonic balance for a beginner instrument.
Does it require any type of maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal. It is recommended to store it in a dry place, away from humidity and direct sunlight, and clean it with a dry cloth to keep it in perfect condition.
