    Hey,
    I’m really interested in learning the cajon, I think that it sounds so therapeutic. Problem is I’m only free every other week because I work on a two week Rota of earlys and lates. I wondered if you did private lessons? Or a fortnightly lesson?? I live on the outskirts of Cambridge.
    Thankyou

      Hey Sarah!
      Thanks for the msg! Why not drop in every 2 weeks to our Cambridge cajon class? I do not currently live in Cambridge so it makes it rather difficult to teach private classes, however, I could do it on Wed if you wanted to as I will be in Cambridge for the group class. Send me an e-mail and we can see if we can make it work somehow!
      Thanks!

    Brazilian’m more alive in Portugal, when you pass by?
    I fell in love to hear you play, and it was good to feel how much you enjoy what you do, I hope to one day have the pleasure of knowing your work personally.
    I will reflect on you and I hope one day to get there.

      Hello Rajendra
      Thank you for the wonderful message, it is always great to hear from a composer 🙂
      As per where you can find a cajon, I am unsure about India and I was unaware it is so difficult to find one there, and thats why cajonbox is great, we post out cajones worldwide, so we can send one directly to your house in India! This is a great solution, and one of the reasons why we have started up our online shop, to give people the opportunity to get an excellent handmade cajon anywhere in the world! I hope this helps!
      I look forward to visitng India someday soon….
      Blessings

    Hello Heidi!
    Your work here is inspiring me to get a cajon for myself. I’m essentially a singer, but love tapping my fingers on tables and surfaces, so perhaps a cajon will be a much better surface to tap on! 🙂
    Although I was wondering how to figure out if playing the cajon is my thing – ergonomically speaking. Is there some way of trying out a cajon (ideally somewhere in Cambridge) before I make up my mind? (I sound like a pessimist, but I just don’t want to get something that may not be fit for me and ends up lying around in the house collecting dust)

    Los conocí una noche en Londres, bajo el London Eyes!! Y me encantaron, el sonido del cajón con tus manos fue impresionante. Nos llevamos “Calle Compas” y lo escuchamos y disfrutamos muchísimo acá en Buenos Aires.
    Me encantaría comprar el box rabioso o el arrabalero 🙂 Hacen o hicieron envíos a Argentina? Es posible?
    gracias Heidi

      Hello Jerry!
      Thanks for writing to me! The new and improved Kaira cajudoos almost ready to be listed and sold on our site, give it another week and we’d have them available, just doing all the final testing of the new Cajudoo range. The new kaira is not as big as the older version, but it sounds better! and super bass! Pictures, vids and listings to follow soon! sign up to our cajonbox newsletter to stay updated on this!

    Hello Heidi,
    I have never owned a Cajon before however, I am looking at purchasing the Cajon Cruz with piano strings but wanted to know if you have had issues with strings breaking and how you go about replacing them if they do.
    Also, I noted in one of your posts that a full wood version was about to be available. Is it available and how do I purchase via the website?
    Regards
    Peter

      Hello Peter
      I personally never had a broken string, with one silly exception. I was tuning the cajon strings so tight that the string literally snapped. I was trying to get rid of a buzz but even though tuning the cajon can really imporve this, taping the problematic string/s down with tape is also a commonly used factor to stop a buzz…. so no, the breaking of strings is not really a thing that happens, unless you really do tighten the strings way too much than is needed. However, you can easily replace a broken string, but have to unscrew the frontboard in order to do so, it’s simple woodwork, however, like I said, broken strings is not really an issue to be worried about as long as you don’t overtune your cajon! If you are however concerned about this, then might I suggest you go for the non tunable Piano string system? There is no way the strings will break as firstly there is no tension tuning system, and also there is no need to adjust the strings.
      All our cruz` cajons are wood, however, our completely birchwood cruz cajon will probably be listed on our webshop within the next week or 2, we are currently taking it through a testing phase, once we are certain of the quality and tested the endurance, we’re ready to add it to our cajon shop. They sound really really great so if you can wait a bit, it will be well worth it! 🙂
      Purchasing a cruz cajon from cajonbox.com is easy! You simply find the product in the store, click on it, and then simply add it to your virtual shopping cart, and then you can choose to pay by paypal (even if you have not got a paypal account you can pay via paypal with your credit card) or you can choose to do a direct bank transfer into our cajonbox account. Really easy and safe!
      I sincerely hope this helps you, please let me know if you have other questions!
      Heidi

        Thanks Heidi,
        The piano string option is currently my preferred based on your comments however do you have video on the website or anywhere that shows the difference in sound between the piano string and guitar string Cajons?
        Regards

          Hello Peter!
          there is no video yet, however, I am working on it, so hold on just a bit more!!! In my opinion, they are both equally as good sounding, with the piano strings being perhaps a bit louder in volume, but it’s all down to personal taste! 🙂

            Sorry Heidi,
            One more thing. I am going with the Toro Cruz Piano String Cajon but notice it does not come with a bag and I could not see a bag for sale on the website. Could you please point me in the right direction to purchase a decent carry case.
            Thanks

            Hello Peter!
            I am actually in the process of ordering some great cajon bags to sell on cajonbox.com, as I get many people wanting to obviously buy a bag with the cajon, however, that might still be a month or 2 before it materialises, so I would suggest you go for the Meinl Deluxe cajon bag for now, it is pricey but great quality!
            Check it out here:

    Hi,
    I’m writing from Palermo (Italy). I’m interested in buying the “Prk cajon rabosio” http://cajonbox.com/cart/. I would like to know if it is available and the price with the cost of the spedition to Palermo (Sicily, Italy).
    How long do I need to wait for it, and how to pay?
    Waiting for your answer.
    Thank you. Bye

    • Heidi Joubert

      Ciao Silvia!
      The price for the Prck Rabioso is £310 plus the postage to anywhere inside the EU which is £35, so all in all you are looking at £345, this inculdes postage & packaging. We post out the cajones fully insured, with a tracking number. Also at the moment there is a 1 week waiting period for any of our cajones because we are extremely busy with orders, especially with Chirstmas, but once we post it (approx 1 week after you ordered and paid for the cajon), it will take 1 – 2 weeks to reach you in Italy. So you are looking at about 2 weeks, max 3 weeks all in all.
      Hope this helps!

    I love your vids and have proven to be very usefull. I have decided to invest in a new Cajon and would like to know what the difference between Cruz and Prk. As far as I can see there are less screws on the front of the Cruz. Is there a massive difference in sound? Also I am torn between guitar or piano strings. Is it easy to tune the guitar stings and in the event of needing to replace them is this straight forward.
    I live in Norwich and would love to see FK in our city(Sounds great) once again thanks for the vids they are so helpful
    Peace

    Hi Heidi,

    Hello Heidi.
    I’ve only just been introduced to the magical percussion instrument The Cajon Drum. I love them, as I’m not so great at playing the drums, but have very good rhythm. I’ve been hitting table tops for 45 years (to the annoyance of my family and friends) cajons seem so suitable for what I want to do.
    Do you have a monthly payment system? I want a Cruz Cajon with piano strings, as it sounds genius.
    I love your lessons they seem really relaxed and will help me improve my playing.
    Thank you.
    Ricky

    What are your thoughts on adding a high hat with the Cajon?
    I haven’t seen you use one yet…must be a reason…

      Hello Manny!
      Very interesting that you ask, I have not yet formally added Hi hat to my cajon kit, but I have been working on this for the past 3 months (on my cowbell pedal) and am about to invest in one, it just takes a lot of co ordination to play with a hi hat, and up till now I have just been developing mainly my cajon technique… but yes, Hi hat is great and it’s the next development for me as a percussionist! 🙂 I will probably be adding some vids with the hi hat and some ex within the next 2 months.

        Hello Manny and Heidi
        I’m using a hi hat with my set when I fx. play swing music. Either I play 2 and 4 with my foot or I use broomsticks (or sticks) to play the swingbeat on the hi hat. I also play the claves rhythm together with my congas. I think it’s great and it gives this metallic sound to the wooden/skin sound.
        I play a Yambú Peruano (conga cajon from Schlagwerk). It fits great into my set of congas and it’s better for my back 😉
        Thanks for your great videolessons.

      Hello Luke!
      Cajonbox shop do unfortunately not yet stock accersories, but I know of a pedal that you can find in some online store, for cajon, like a bass drum pedal but backwards, I think it’s called cajon pedal, here’s a link I just found on it, it looks pretty cool! http://www.schlagwerk.com/products/cajon-add-ons/cajon-pedal/
      Now I never tried it so I cannot vouch for it, but I have used a normal bass drum pedal on one of my cajones, positioning the cajon in front of me like a bass drum in a drum kit, and sitting on a chair or another cajon, that worked well, but this add on looks great, let u know how it goes if you do get it!! 🙂
      Hope this helps!
