Sela SE-174

The Sela Art Series Urban SE-174 is a cajon that combines a powerful sound with a striking graphic design. This cajon is part of the Sela Art Series, a line of percussion instruments that brings together sound quality, playing comfort, and a unique design. With its deep bass, clear snare tones, and two removable Sela Snare Systems, the Urban offers extensive possibilities for various playing styles. The sturdy birch wood construction, adjustable snare response, and pre-tuned Clap Corners make this cajon suitable for both beginner and advanced percussionists.

A striking design from the Sela Art Series
The Sela Art Series stands out for its combination of professional cajon features and unique designs. The Urban model features a graphically designed playing surface that immediately catches the eye. This makes the cajon not only a percussion instrument but also a striking presence on stage or in the rehearsal room. Behind the design lies a cajon developed with a focus on sound, construction, and playability. The Sela Urban delivers a full bass response and a direct snare sound, making the instrument suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from acoustic pop and singer-songwriter to flamenco and Latin.

Deep bass and crisp snare accents
The Sela Art Series Urban produces a powerful, deep bass with a clear separation between low tones and snare accents. Its construction ensures a direct response, allowing both subtle rhythms and fast percussion patterns to shine. The upper corners of the playing surface feature pre-set Clap Corners. These let you add crisp, handclap-like accents to your playing. By combining different striking positions, you can create a wide range of rhythmic sounds without needing additional percussion instruments.

Two Removable Sela Snare Systems
A key difference from many other cajons is that the Sela Art Series Urban comes standard with two removable Sela Snare Systems. These snare systems deliver a distinct snare sound with extra attack and definition. The snare response is individually adjustable, allowing you to tailor the sound to your personal playing style. By removing one or both snare systems, you can reduce the amount of snare effect or opt for a more traditional cajon sound where the natural wood resonance takes center stage. With both snare systems installed, a more powerful and prominent snare sound is produced. This is particularly useful for flamenco, Latin, and other playing styles where clear, sharp percussive accents are desired. Thanks to these adjustment options, you can easily adapt the cajon to various musical situations.

Sturdy 11-ply birch wood shell
The shellof the Sela Art Series Urban is crafted from 11 layers of birch wood with a total wall thickness of 15 mm. This construction provides a stable foundation for sound production and contributes to the instrument’s full bass response and direct responsiveness. The graphically designed playing surface gives the Urban its distinctive look, while the birch wood body ensures the necessary sturdiness. The cajon is also equipped with non-slip rubber feet, which prevent the instrument from sliding while being played.
