    Building a Cajon

    Posted on 31 December 2006



    The Cajon is a wonderful percussion instrument, found in flamenco music and Peru. I've been enjoying browsing Cajon clips on Youtube recently, and wondered how difficult it would be to build one from scratch. Thanks to the joys of the internet I found this article [PDF 461kb] which describes the process in great detail - now all I need is time.

    Meanwhile, great progress on the largerphone front, of which more soon..
