How do you adjust the snare?

It's not adjustable but by striking different ares of the cajon you can get different snare sounds at the edge it's more of a crack and the very center it's deeper ,also when it's flipped over you get.a great bongo sound I mount it on a snare stand closed tight

Is there a case for this?

I think maybe it came with a bag but no case

Yes, it is adult sized. It is a variation on a "laptop cajon" or "slaptop cajon". You can't sit on it (or play it no-handed) like a traditional cajon, but it is easier to play sitting up straight like many other types of hand drums. It has excellent sound quality.

Does Meinl make a travel case for this? Or, is there another recommended travel case on amazon someone could recommend?

I don't know and anyway it can fit easily in any back pack, but overall i don't recommend it, its not comparable by any means to a traditional Cajon.

Original cajón con dos sonidos distintos

Era para un regalo, y parece que le ha gustado! Por un lado hace un sonido tipo bongos y si le das la vuelta otro tipo cajón. Además es pequeñito asi que está genial para viajes y demás.
