I've just started building my own Cajon and your site helped me on getting started! I'm not an expert on instrument building but I always loved making things instead of buying them. I'd be glad to send you, via email ,info and photos of my Cajon project and you could place them on the site.They might be as helpful to anyone interested as yours have been to me!Just let me know. Cheers from Greece! Marios. Hallo!

It's at: http://caseyconnor.org/cajon Good to see yours here as well. The web certainly could use more on the subject. :-) Ok, -c Hi - I just finished and published a web page about building a cajon as well. It’s at:

One tip: most of the Spanish cajons use a single low E, A or D guitar-string stretched across the inside of the drumming surface for the snare. It is screwed into the structure at the top left (tied with a knot around one of the screws which holds the surface on), passes around the center screw on the bottom and heads up again to the upper right, where it is either simply tensed around a wood-screw which holds it close to the surface or, if more expensive, with a machine-screw which somehow keeps the tension. Often, the guitar-string is rather slack and held to the back of the drumming surface with a strip of duct-tape. You can do this with two strings in order to get more of a snare-effect, and the one I will build now will allow a disengagement of the strings.

I have spent several hours trying to find out the exact cajon this is! I have a mario cortes cajon, and its great but not as great as this. My snare sound is only at the top, and You cant use your foot to get that bass kick sound. I'd love to do that, as that is what my technique is all about! Please can anybody tell me the model this japenese girl uses? Please can somebody help me!
