Won't stop won't stop playing

This cajon purchase turned out to be a mistake. I was attracted by having several different playing surfaces on one cajon. But there are a few major problems that get in the way of this cajon being good for anything but low-end practice.First, the sound on the snare side is just really bad. There is very little differentiation between the bass and the snare tone, and the snares are very sizzly; the snare does not "crack." At all.Second, while the bongo side looks interesting, the big problem is that the wooden surfaces that make u the bongos are indented, meaning that they are really hard to make contact with because the actual cajon wood prevents an easy strike. And to be honest, the bongos sound really clunky and they have no projection; very soft.Lastly, while the djembe head is interesting, the problem is that when you hit either the snare or the non-snare playing surface, the vibration rattles the djembe head, leading to very unwanted overtones that further muddy an already muddy sound.This cajon idea was really interesting, and I really wanted it to work out. But these problems add up to a cajon I will likely never use again.

Arrived in states time frame. Completely assembled upon delivery. Use this with a DW pedal for one the many projects I am involved with. Sounds good, snare throw off works perfectly. Overall a good purchase for my needs.

Great box for the price. This will last a lifetime!

It sounds good with me.I dont like crack snares..so I taped them...and I get good bass sounds...

One of the corners on the top of the box was bent or pulled from the corner slightly also no bag or foot pedel. I thought it came with those items.

Crap and lies everywhere in product page, and then a bit of terrible design and construction.So, where to begin? Not oak, like the item name, not birch (like the descriptions lower down). The box/body (everything but Tapa) is some cheap fiberboard, or MDF at best. You can tell from the inside, which is unsealed. Well, unsealed except for the random paint splatters and drips inside -- some of which literally sealed the snare mechanism shut on my first order. I meant to return it and get a refund - apparently I clicked exchange, and another showed up a few days later. The second one's handle wasn't painted in place at least - but both had several other issues. The snare wires are randomly attached to spindle - bad angles, one was so bad the entire right hand strike zone has no snares in its zone behind the tappa - making left and right hand hits wildly different sound, with no method to fix without rebuilding snare mechanism. A dozen holes punched through the bottom fiberboard base, as each foot has three way over sized screws used to install them. Crooked feet too. Scratches everywhere - some actual scratches, some "blemishes" which seem to be inherent in the painting process on the fiberboard they used... so "blemish" may be the wrong term - just crappy finish and painting. The Tappa feels very cheap, and was also painted on (had to pry off to first, to try to tune the tappa, sinse stuck in so many places). They put screws in top corner areas they shouldn't have - which many makers do, but you can often just remove them. Problem here, is they painted the tapa after countersinking screws, and used screws with edges on them to hold tapa on -- and those just scratch the paint unevenly out of the countersink hole -- so removing any screws makes the tapa look like trash from 20 feet away, not just up close. The snare adjust mechanism is a novel idea, but not executed well at all by them. Crooked mounted snares, and no thought given to distance of adjustability, versus where/when in the adjustment snares first make contact. The one picture of the knob is showing you where the snares contact the tapa - at almost the bottom/end of adjustment zone. Most of the rest of the adjustment zone, apparently exists only to bend the snares so far back on themselves that they deform and likely pop the weld lines in weeks, maybe days. Also the snares i received are bent wildly, and make noise even when the system is "off." Lots more I could say - but I'll just go with DON'T BUY THIS. BUY ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE. If you bought this, and think you like it - consider returning it and know that $70 cajons are often as good and better (versus $150 for this trash). $150 from a woodworker or reputable company should get you a lot more quality, and perhaps an instrument that actually lasts, and actually sounds good.
