Pea Turgh Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hiya folks. I’m interested in getting a cajon, but I have no idea what to buy. I tried a Meinl kit, but it was rubbish. Can anyone in-the-know recommend a “Squier” level cajon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1968 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 To answer a completely different question, it’s really about the type of internals and the tuning. Tips: FWIW, our cajonanisto plays a Schlagwerk which sounds OK for a fish box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Thanks for the vid. I tried adjusting the snare and front plate tension previously - was just a duffer. Went to PMT in Cardiff today. They have a(n already built!) Meinl with built in pickups. Sounded like a Cajon. Seriously considering it… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Check out SG Percussion. Handmade in the UK. Spence made my Cajon and I love it. Far better made than the mass produced ones I tried in shops. He has lots of options too depending what you have in mind. *edit... Bugger, just read that his business folded 2 years ago due to the pandemic. Bloody shame! Edited January 13 by miles'tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
