Cajons - The Cajon series combines new construction ideas with traditional instrument shapes from Peru and Cuba.

Instruments: Cajon la Per | Bass-Cajon | 2inOne - Snare Cajon  | Cajon Comparsa | Yambú-Drums | Cajonga | Crashbox

Cajon (pronounce: cahon) is the Spanish word for "box". The idea of using a simple wooden box as a drum comes from Latin America. In the Seventies, the former percussion instrument of the slaves became well-known also in Europe due to the widespread of the Flamenco music. Since then the Cajon has enjoyed increasing popularity and it is now used in many different music styles.
