Pea Turgh Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 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
nige1968 Posted January 8, 2024 Posted January 8, 2024 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
Pea Turgh Posted January 9, 2024 Author Posted January 9, 2024 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
miles'tone Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 (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, 2024 by miles'tone Quote
