Hi all,

I was wondering which cajon's you own and what your favorites are.

I have a DG cajon. Model Yaqui. I'm very happy with it. It has a great bass tone.

I own about 50 cajones from dogs percussion ,-).

But also a PRK Castigador, a Sela (similar to the one Paul uses) and a Meinl Turbo Cajon.

As owner of the Friends Area I am exposing two cajones from Valter Percussion, three from POPercussion, two more Selas, one from ASL and one from WoodnBox.

I picked up a Meinl String cajon. Easy to get and not too hard on the bank. Plus that $200 bundle with the bag that everyone has is nice.

I currently have a Triple A cajon, the cheapest I could find (I am a student, I have serious budget issues). I have been drumming for quite some years, heard about Cajons and wanted to try one. Now I`m really getting the hang of it and I`m going to build one out of solid wood (Acacia(Robinia)). It`s a greenish type of wood, strong and really durable. I hope it works okay. I will probably make my own plywood out of wood with a good sound for the front. I`m still in doubt whether or not I`m going to add a snare to it, but at the moment I think not. If u think otherwise let me know ;)

I have a Tycoon Percussion Ebony Cajon TKE-29. its my first one and I'm liking it very much. I didn't know a box could have so many sounds

POP percussion one with no snare, double sided, open corners on one, and closed on the other. Looking into the Alex Acuna signature from Gon Bops at the moment...tatsy sound.

I just got my first Cajon. The LP ANgled Cajon. It's OK, but I'm gonna need to upgrade :-) The sound is just OK in my opinion, and I think they could've done more to make it ergonomic and comfortable for the player.

I'm looking at Schlagwerk (la Perù Burl Veneer with an Ergo Cajon Adapter) and Kotz at the moment (Kotz String Cube(tm) with Legs / Homero Chavez Model). I see a lot of other nice products out there too that I'm going to have to add to my collection someday...

damn...so many Cajons, so little money.

I took delivery of my first Cajon two days ago - it's a Stagg. Having real problems tuning it though. I've tried every conceivable combination of tighening / loosening the snare, and adjusting the screws on the front plate. At worst there's a horrible flappy rattle, at best it's tight enough that all I get is a nasty 'Boing' overtone. No snare sound at all, and the bells inside may as well not be there. Frustrating, because it looks like a lovely instrument, but my ignorance isn't making its sound the best it can be.

I own a DG cajÓn KIYO Sweet Spot, and I love it! It has a very rich bass tone and a high slap tone

I have a drum kit cajon made in France by Stickydrums.

you can see a video there : http://youtu.be/AMssWIg7mls

it's a complete drumset in the cajon spirit playing with hand or brushes to see ...
