Re: Cajon Advice
Hey young Christian bro....
I made my cajon after doing a bunch of research on the subject and I like the sound of mine. After many years of hobbies and activities I have learned that when you are looking for gear the first time around, buy used if you can and buy down. After you gain experience and knowledge, then go for what suits you. Pics of mine can be found in the Make It Yourself thread. I installed a snare so I get a pretty wide range of voiced from it. I am not that senior on this forum, but I haven't seen that much discussion on cajons here. You may have a bit of a struggle getting the info you want. With a cajon, keep in mind that it's just a box. Prices range from about $89 to well over $300 and I have absolutely no idea why. But in comparison, you will find many comments in this forum that suggest that professional musicians are using Matador congas, and they are just a few steps up from entry level pricing, and they are fine instruments. Again, buy down until you know what you like and then go for it! I hope this helps in some way.
