CRUZ CAJON

Cruz Cajon is Heidi Joubert's  unique brand of outstanding cajons. Developed and designed by Heidi Joubert for the optimum playing experience. Each Cruz Cajon is delicately handcrafted to perfection in Spain with passion & love by our experienced artesan who takes pride in delivering outstanding professional instruments. Handmade with the finest birchwood, using only the highest quality wood and  materials for a perfect sounding cajon with a rich resonance & beautiful finish.

The making of the Cruz Cajon & quality control

After the handcrafting process, each cajon is finely tuned and then taken through a rigorous  testing phase, approved by our professional cajon team to ensure it matches the highest possible standard.

Excellent for your posture, playability & developing a good technique

The sound quality is superb and so is the playing action, with an extremely fast rebound action that makes it effortless to play. The bass “sweet spot” is situated as high as possible, just below the “snare” to encourage & retain a healthy posture, as well as developing the correct technique as you play the cajon. It has a rageously loud bass with a beautiful resonance & a neat, crisp attack on the highs with a distinct separation between the snare and bass sounds. Fabulous for acoustic playing, miced-up playing and recording! It is really almost effortless to get a great sound out of the cruz cajon!

Making a difference with our charity

A part of the profits from all our cajon sales go towards our Skierlik Community Project, a charity set up by Heidi Joubert in collaboration with a local pastor & his team, based in the informal settlement of Skierlik in South Africa. They dedicate their lives to making a difference in their community. The charity helps children & families living in the most poverty stricken conditions in the local & surrounding areas. The project offers feeding programs, education & skill training and a safe space with rehabilitation for children who are abandoned, abused or neglected, and helps get them off the streets and out of a life of violence & crime.  Find out more & get involved here.

  1. Corrina Brodersen

    This cajon is spectacular! Absolutely beautiful, the craftsmanship is exquisite. Shipped all the way to Las Vegas and arrived as expected. First slap out of the box and I’m in love! Heidi was also wonderful to work with, she answered all questions promptly. I’m brand new to the cajon, I cannot wait to learn and am so blessed to have this particular cajon to learn on.

    I am absolutely loving this cajon! Love the quality. Love the sound. I was concerned that playing cajon might hurt my somewhat arthritic hands but I do believe it’s actually helping them. This is my first cajon. Being a professional musician, I wanted quality build and design with excellent sound for recording. My friends this is the one! So happy 🙂

    My Elite Toro arrived safely in Hong Kong. Heidi’s swift email correspondence was amazing and I look forward to playing this wonderful masterpiece at church for worship.

    ELITE Toro Cruz Cajon is a must have Pure Art Piece reflecting all the positive energy of Ms. Heidi Joubert. Choosing the right type of Cajon is one of the most important thing, however it can be also pretty much frustrating going through all the YouTube videos of what is worth having and price/performance evaluations etc. And putting any kind of Cajon on your wish list, only upon trying to grasp as much as possible from video only, is always a lottery. Well according to what I have experienced with having ELITE Toro Cruz Cajon (I got it in May) it is difficult to describe and is something that everyone should experience. Perfect Shape, Delicate and Beautiful Crafted Material, Gentle Feel, enabling Versatility where you can adjust Snare in accordance with your Musical Taste…and not to mention a personal touch of Ms. Heidi Joubert. Sincerely I hope I was able, not to persuade anybody, however to clarify in the right way about an Art that is indescribable. You truly need to have it, to feel it. Enjoy it!

    I received my Cruz Cajon Elite Toro this week. I love it, I love it, I love it! I’ve Been playing it to Brazilian samba, Puerto Rican salsa and worship music. The deep bass and the snare was exactly what I was looking for.
    God bless and Thank you!

    I bought this cajon (ELITE Toro) one month ago after playing my first Cruz Cajon regularly for the last 8.5 years. Since the day it arrived, I played a few gigs and I absolutely loved it! Love the sound, the dynamics, sensitivity! Everything! The base sound is pretty powerful for small acoustic venues/setup. The snare sounds is sharp and delicious! And delivery – it only took 2 days after placing the order to arrive in time for the gig!
