    Hi,
    Heidi and all on Fernando’s Kitchen,
    This is Hitesh. Just replying to inform you that I have subscribed for the free Newsletter since 30 June 2014 and have not received any of them since then.
    Pls inform do I have to re-subscribe or will I start getting the same soon.
    I have replied to fk@fernandoskitchen.com on 21st Sept 2014 regarding this. But still not receiving any Newsletter since June 30th 2014.
    When I tried to re-subscribe I get a message that “You are already subscribed”.
    Hoping for a reply
    And yes, I have been using all the CAJON Videos of HEIDI from the Youtube channel and the same have helped me a lot in learning to play the cajon.

    Hello Heidi,
    I just discovered you today and I’m amazed by the musicality of your cajon (maybe a lot because of you!)
    I would love to play one, do you know if it’s possible to buy one ?
    Many thanks

    I’m a wood shop teacher in Alberta Canada. Stumbled upon your videos while researching project ideas for my high school students. We built cigar box guitars last year and figured a drum would make a perfect accompaniment. Ties in perfectly with part of the curriculum I teach. Needless to say I will have my class build a Cajon. As a class we will build a set and donate them to one of our towns elementary school music programs. If you don’t mind I have linked a number of your U-tube videos with my students project outline to assist with their skill development. Some students have seen the Cajon project for next year (after summer) and are already eager to get back into class to build and play.
    I made a prototype myself and have been learning some beats with help from your links. Its great fun.
    Your videos are well done, you explain and demonstrate technique very well. Signed up for your newsletter to get additional tips, ideas.
    I’ll have to send a video upon completion.
    Thanks

      Hey Dave
      Wow this is a very nice surprise! I would love to see the video, and even perhaps write a blog about it, can you send me some pics too? I would like to help in any way I can, it sounds cool and like a really good project for the kids, bet they love you, I love this whole idea!

    Hi Heidi
    Thanksvery much for this website and your helpful videos on YouTube. I bought a cajon on Friday and have been practicing your funk and balerias rhythms. Glad to hear about your new London Jam – hopefully I will master the basics by the time it starts. I have a question about adjusting the tapas. Is it okay to have different tones on the corners (ie tight on one corner, loose on the other)? You see my new cajon has tapa screws which are not 100% straight – is that normal

    Hey Heidi,
    many thanks for your great website. I admire your groovy and inspired way of playing the cajon and I actually learned a lot from your lessons. I was really impressed by the video you did with the hangdrum player. The first part with cajon and darbuka I enjoyed most.

    Hey Heidi
    I impromptu went into a music shop last week to buy a guitar and ended up coming out with a Cajun as well as the guitar. I stumbled on your website as want to learn to play it well. Your videos and band are amazing and they encourage me to practice, practice, practice. Well done and thank you for encouraging me.

    Canto desde que tengo memoria…Me lleva el Soul, Funk, GOSPEL! Hip-Hop, R&B…soy de Argentina, acá no tenemos la cultura negra arraigada y cuesta conseguir información o gente BUENA en estos estilos. Toco un poco batería, huevos, pandereta, cajón y cualquier instrumento de percusión que esté a mi alcance!!. Encuentro tus videos sencillos, y contagiosos. Quiero más data! Más lecciones! Más instrumentos!
    Hermosa voz, hermoso Groove!

    Heidi!
    I stumbled upon your Youtube videos while searching for rythym instrument tutorials and I was so blown away by the both the instrument and the musician that I decided I HAD to learn how to play!
    I debuted my cajon with a group of musicians this past weekend and everyone was so curious and impressed with the range of sounds and grooves that this little box can produce. I had an absolute blast!
    I would love to pre-order one of your cajons. I am patiently waiting to upgrade my entry-level instrument to something I know will have both a robust sound and a robust build! Can’t wait!

    Hey Heidi.
    I saw your Youtube video with the ensemble and it was really impressive, I enjoyed it a lot. I’ve been a hand percussionist for the past 25 years and that type of ensemble is what I would like to perform in. Nice stuff.
