DG De Gregorio Cigano Cajon tuneable with steel strings

The DG Cigano ("Gypsy") was developed in conjunction with leading local flamenco percussionists specializing in the new "Madrid and Barcelona style." This style incorporates the heavy use of Afro-Cuban percussion, necessitating an instrument with both a pronounced snare sound as well as the volume to compete with congas and timbales. With its 3mm, 3-ply Baltic birch front-plate, 9-ply birch body, and 2 independently tunable steel-core strings mounted on our quick-release snare-system, the Cigano more than delivers the volume and sensitivity needed. In fact, the Cigano's unique features allow it to be heard in small venues without amplification- even over the heavy footwork of Flamenco dancers.
