EJ Cohen, Sue Horowitz and me performing at the URJ Biennial, 2017. -As I type this, a fresh batch of Travel Cajons is drying nearby. Tomorrow, after the glue is completely dry, I will sand the edges, apply a little clear-coat as needed, and attach hardware so each one can be played while standing, worn on a guitar strap (See the photo at left for an example).
I will take reservations for these cajons from folks who want delivery at either Limmud-Seattle in January, OR at Song Leader Boot Camp (SLBC) in February. Taking delivery at either of these events will save you shipping costs, but you will have to sort out how to get it home (pack light and leave room in your carry-on bag).
Each Travel Cajon is made from a recycled wooden cigar box, with drum hardware added inside to give the drum its traditional "snappy" sound. On a drum of this size the snares are NOT adjutable; however, each set is installed with sound quality in mind.
The Travel Cajon, being small and portable, is not meant to take the place of a full-size Cajon in a large hall; rather, this is a great practice drum for late-night hotel room sessions, or a nice accompaniment for intimate firepit gatherings in someone's backyard.
Each cajon is created by hand, one at a time, by Yours Truly, and sells for $50 including strap buttons so you can add a strap. (If you would prefer one without strap buttons and you just want to play it on your lap, tell me when you order and I'll make sure you get a buttonless model.)
Once in awhile, I make a smaller cajon which sells for a little less, and these usually do not include strap buttons. Think of it as a "pocket" cajon, great for amusing yourself in airport terminals without annoying your neighbors. If you want one of these, let me know.
And remember to make room each day for a little bit of rhythm.
