*** check out my feedback on these so far ***

Cajon individually made by myself from 9mm thick mahogany veneer plywood on all sides (apart from front).

Cajones, often called "drum in a box" are making a worldwide resurgence, becoming more popular then ever.
They're ideal for acoustic sets, quick set-up gigs, limited spaces, youth groups / camps or just an additional percussion instrument for a band etc.

I reckon this is at a 'give away' price. I want to keep those moving.

Solid, and good looking, these are constructed for their sound quality primarily.

I have researched and experimented with various front (tapa) materials and thicknesses, sound hole sizes and snare positioning to settle on this design which I believe is very good.

The bass is deep, loud and punchy.
The snare is snappy and well balanced, reducing in intensity from top to middle of the tapa.

You can hear a short sample on YouTube

Copy & paste the above link into your browser and preferably use headphones to appreciate the bass properly.

I’m a percussionist. I’m not a professional wood craftsman so the finishing is not perfect where I’ve sanded the surface a bit too far pass the mahogany veneer in a couple of corners, but they are solid, precisely made, re-enforced on the inside and look very good.
