Charity Auction - Hand made Cajon

[Bg]

Ok peeps, I've gone through a recent journey into cajon's, hand built box drums. At first I thought it would be a cool thing for stompbox drumming. Now I'm getting into the whole percussion thing, I have a big groove too.

So, I'm about to make my latest, mk3 version, this will be the bollocks! I've learned from two prior versions and this will have bass, tom and snare, oh yes.

It will be pine with dovetailed corners, because I can and because they are the strongest corner joint. The back will be rebated and the 'tapa' or striking surface will be 4mm oak ply, with no voids.

Mk 2 was all the above but with no dovetailing, it sounds bloody good. mk3 will be better.

But wait, thats not all!

It will come with voodoo design's painted on it, by my super talented wife who is a recognized nz artist and author!
and a set of shingzo knives. not.

I'll bang this on the tardme at a buck reserve, it'll be good wood, my ply will be under your hands. Pics to follow- I played a few today and I reckon mine beat them into the ground pun intended.

So coming soon!

Serial tho, I heard a guy play one of these last week at the Trusts Stadium, crowd was 3500+. He jumped off his kit for one song and used a cajon (mic'd off course) + a tambourine, for one song, and it sounded great
