Sela Varios: professional features at an affordable price
With the Varios series, Sela demonstrates that an affordable cajon doesn’t have to compromise on sound quality or playing capabilities. The SE-013 combines features typically found in more expensive cajons with a construction suitable for regular use. The cajon has a natural wood finish with a lacquered wooden striking surface. This gives the Varios a distinctive design that aligns with the character of an acoustic percussion instrument. The combination of deep bass, a distinct snare sound, and additional percussive accents makes the Sela Varios suitable for acoustic pop, singer-songwriter, flamenco, Latin, and other musical styles where rhythm plays an important role.

Powerful bass and clear snare sound
The Sela Varios SE-013 produces a deep, full bass with a clear distinction between low tones and sharp snare accents. The sturdy birch shell supports the bass response, while the playing surface responds directly to various playing techniques. By playing the central part of the playing surface, you can create powerful bass tones. Strikes on the upper sections produce clear snare sounds, allowing you to build rhythmic patterns and accents. The direct response makes it possible to play both gentle accompaniment rhythms and faster percussion patterns. This makes the cajon suitable for home use, music lessons, rehearsals, and acoustic performances.

Removable Sela Snare System
An important feature of the Sela Varios SE-013 is the removable Sela Snare System. This system produces the characteristic snare sound and gives you control over the amount of snare effect while playing. The snare response is individually adjustable, allowing you to tailor the sound to your personal playing style. You can opt for a more subtle snare sound or a sharper response that clearly stands out during rhythmic accents. The snare system can also be completely removed from the cajon. This creates a more traditional cajon sound where the natural wood resonance and bass response take center stage. This allows you to use different tonal characters without switching instruments.

Expandable with a second Sela Snare System
The Sela Varios allows you to install a second Sela Snare System. This lets you amplify the snare sound and create a more prominent response. With two snare systems, you get a sharper, more pronounced snare sound. This is particularly appealing to percussionists who play flamenco or Latin music, where fast rhythms and clear percussive accents are essential. This expansion option also offers extra control over the sound for other musical styles where a direct, powerful snare sound is desired. The second snare system is sold separately.

Clap Corners for Extra Percussion Accents
The Sela Varios SE-013 is equipped with special Clap Corners in the upper corners of the playing surface. These are pre-tuned and produce a distinctive clap effect when you strike the corners. With the Clap Corners, you can add extra accents to your rhythms. By combining the crisp clap sounds with the deep bass and the adjustable snare system, you can elicit a variety of percussive sounds from a single instrument. The pre-tuned design ensures that the Clap Corners are ready to use right out of the box. This allows you to focus on playing and discovering new rhythmic patterns.

11-ply birch shell
Theshell of the Sela Varios SE-013 is crafted from 11 layers of birch with a total wall thickness of 15 mm. This construction provides a stable foundation and contributes to the powerful bass response and immediate sound projection. The wooden striking surface features a lacquered finish. The natural wood appearance gives the cajon a timeless character, while the finish allows the wood grain to show through. The sturdy construction supports both low bass tones and sharp snare accents. As a result, the sound remains clearly defined across various playing techniques and volume levels. The cajon also features non-slip rubber feet. These help prevent the instrument from sliding during play and ensure a stable position on various surfaces.

German quality for every percussionist
The Sela Varios SE-013 is manufactured in Germany and combines a meticulous finish with features that meet the needs of both beginner and experienced cajon players. Measuring approximately 47 x 30 x 30 cm, the instrument has a standard cajon size and a comfortable playing height. Weighing about 5 kg, the cajon is easy to take along to rehearsals, music lessons, and performances. Thanks to the removable snare system, the option to add a second snare system, and the pre-tuned Clap Corners, you can explore a variety of sound possibilities. This makes the Sela Varios SE-013 a great choice for percussionists looking for a reliable cajon with a powerful bass, clear snare sound, and extensive adjustment options.
