bringing back to life this thread 

... looking for cajonista near south, i'm from dasmarinas, cavite ... i want cajon players to try out my proto-type "lap slap and tap" cajon beatbox and see if it offers at par if not better sound and practical usage. it is a working proto-type and in its user testing stage. meet-up at MOA is ok. the unit is installed with RHYTHM TECH piccolo 13" Active Snare System among other refinements.

text 0921-5041767 .. it meets sonic sound and portability requirements.

mga fellow cajonist anu bng klaseng wood un ginagamit sa cajon at saan po makakabili nito gagawa po kasi sana ako salamat.

[jbarot]

hi.

just want to share a project i am currently doing.

a friend asked if i could make a cajon for him.  so i agreed.

the raw materials. solid  mahogany top bottom and sides.  the tapa should be plywood because solid wood will only crack after repeated abuse. lamination is good in this case

mock up.  pay no attention to what's on top hehehe


the struts for the strings


for the snare i used a guitar tuning gear to adjust the snare tension


before polishing.  the tapa is made of really old plywood that i found at my mother in law's house.  when i tapped it it sounded really good, not like the newer ply we have now.  it's not much to look at though, but its about the sound right?  hehehehe




first polishing session (french polish)


re the background. now another friend wants me to make another cajon! 


it still has a ways to go.  but it was fun.  i have never realized that a 17x12x12 box could be so loud hahaha

thanks

[sic2hell]

Ayos! Ganda ng pagkakagawa!

Keep it up sir!

[JaiPe15]

question lang po mga sir,, meron po ba pinagkaiba ung tunog ng cajon na may pickup sa wala? parang meron kasi ako nabasa na mas maganda daw tunog nung walang pickup kesa sa meron. mas maganda daw gamitan nalang ng mic.. tama po ba un? im planning to buy one kasi.. TIA!

[jbarot]

i didn't know that there was a thread like this.  hehehehe posted pic in the percussion thread.  sorry for the redundancy. 

my current project.  making two cajons for my friends

[JaiPe15]

[spadettie]

[kulaaas]

[spadettie]

[spadettie]

posible bang gawing alternate sa bass drum ang cajon? nakakita ako sa youtube parang drum kit set up pero cajon bass drum nya?

dkaya masira un? db kahoy lang un?

thanks in advance.

[skunkyfunk]

Is it worth it to buy an LP, Toca or Meinl Cajon?  Tried some of them LP Aspires and I found out that the 'snare' part (the corner) is not disjointed compared to the locally-made ones. Which makes the local builds 'snappier'....

[ermonski]

what's a good beginner cajon? for home use, recording and occasional office gigs. thanks!

[ryann]

lumuwag ung 3 strings ng cajon ko 

paano ba gagawin un? 09281331236

[stick00]

may pihitan yan pag strings gamit. pag snare wire wala.
