LP USA Woodshop Tony Succar Cajon Latin Percussion has introduced the signature USA Woodshop Tony Succar Cajon. Percussionist, composer, arranger, bandleader, producer, and Latin Grammywinner Tony Succar helped design the Peruvian-style cajon. Made in LP’s U.S. woodshop, the crafted Chilean pine body breathes with resonance and the red meranti soundboard provides punchy, bright tones with a graphic finish. This drum embodies Succar’s ability to combine tradition with contemporary energy and authentic Peruvian tone. The signature Cajon is finished with Succar’s recognisable initials in bright red. It measures 18.75 (H) x 13 (W) x 11.6 in. (D). For more information, contact B&J Music: 800-268-8147, [email protected], www.bjmusiconline.com. Korg RK-100S 2 Keytar Korg has released the RK-100S 2 keytar, which is an updated version of the RK-100S released in 2014, which itself was a reissue of the company’s 1980s-era keytar. Like the RK-100S, the RK-100S 2 eliminates the need for an external sound module with its built-in model- ing sound generator. It's also more compact and lightweight than the ‘80s original with the addition of a 37-note slim keyboard and dual ribbon controllers. Compared to the RK-100S, the RK-100S 2 has improved rigidity, plus an artisanal wooden body with a finish that accentuates the grain of the wood. It is also equipped with a MIDI output and USB connectivity, which allow it to be used as a master keyboard.
