Sela SE 179 Art Series Flower Power Wood-Cajon

Sela SE 179 Art Series Cajon Flower Power — German-Made Percussion with Pro-Level Sound

The Sela SE 179 Art Series Cajon Flower Power is a wooden percussion instrument designed for players seeking a professional sound straight out of the box. Built in Germany by Sela Percussion, this cajon combines a 15 mm birch body with a removable snare system to deliver both powerful bass tones and crisp, defined slaps. It works equally well for acoustic duos, street performers, and flamenco or Latin music enthusiasts who want a reliable, expressive instrument. The Art Series design brings personality to the stage with a vibrant Flower Power finish that stands out visually without compromising acoustic performance.

What Sets the SE 179 Apart

What makes this cajon unique is its dual-personality snare system — players can remove the snare wires to switch from a sharp, flamenco-style response to a more traditional Peruvian cajon tone. The special Clap Corner feature adds an extra percussive option for dynamic playing, while rounded corners improve comfort during long sessions. Made in Germany, the SE 179 carries the build quality that has made Sela a respected name in the percussion world.

Technical Specifications — Built for Sound and Stability

The physical specs of the SE 179 reflect Sela's focus on balancing tone, comfort, and portability. The 15 mm birch walls produce a warm, resonant bass, while the compact footprint makes it easy to position on stage or in a home setup.

• Body Material: Birch (15 mm) — produces a warm, full bass response with strong projection
• Dimensions: 47 x 30 x 30 cm — standard cajon size that fits most players and stages
• Weight: 4.7 kg — light enough for transport, heavy enough to stay grounded during energetic playing
• Snare System: Removable — switch between snare-on (sharp, defined) and snare-off (deep bass) modes
• Feet: Non-slip rubber — keeps the cajon stable on smooth floors during dynamic performances
• Special Feature: Clap Corner sound — adds a unique percussive voice for creative playing

Who Should Play the SE 179

The Sela SE 179 is the right choice for intermediate percussionists and acoustic musicians who need a versatile cajon with both traditional and modern playing options. It suits flamenco players who want a defined snare response, as well as singer-songwriters looking for a portable, full-sounding rhythm instrument. Beginners moving up from entry-level cajons will appreciate the removable snare system that lets them experiment with different sounds. The Flower Power finish also makes it an attractive choice for performers who want their gear to reflect their personality on stage.
