    Hi Heidi,

    I can’t wait to get your video lesson DVD. Such an great idea. And when you are on tour through Germany as announced on your website, please come to Hamburg. It is absolutely worth it :-)

    Take care

    Hi Heidi,
    I just wanted to share with you the name of an album that is good for jamming with rumba groove and 12/8 shuffle just in case you haven’t heard it . It’s The Nightfly by Donald Fagan. Check I.G.Y and The Goodbye Look
    Sincerely,
    Lee

      Hi Heidi!
      I am interested in purchasing a toro cruz cajon, but I see your out of stock.:(. Do you know when you will have any available? I am currently playing an Acuna, and I like it, but I really want the Toro! :)

    Hello Heidi,

    from my point of view it is already a fact that you are the most motivated/ing cajon teacher… please keep on rocking and believing in god!

    And… could you please tell me how I can participate in learning from you somehow, even if I live in Munich/Germany. I read something about DVDs, a europe tour or skype lessons. Maybe there is a possibility to come to your school for some sort of a 1 week intensive workshop or something similar?

    In each case I would like to get more detailed information.

    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards,

    Jonny Taubitz

    Hi Heidi,

    I would like the ask more bout your cajon, is there a difference with Cruz and Toro besides the color? Thinking of buy a new cajon and donating my old one to my church.

    I have been watching your video on youtube and it’s very helpful. Practicing on it now. Thank you.

    Firstly i would like to know what kind of wood you are using on ur Cajon? my present Cajon is made from rubber wood and equiped with Snare string(Snare Cajon). Hope you can help me understand more the differences between String Cajon and Snare Cajon. I don’t know the difference about these 2 Cajon. Saw a gig one night at a local pub usingthe cajon as drum and was super interested and went up to him asking bout it. Without thinking much and bought one for myself.

    Hope to hear from you soon and God bless.

      Thanks for your enquiry. At the moment I am unsure about my stock and also about woods as we are making major improvement changes to my cruz cajon brand as well as expanding the range, and this coupled with the fact that we have been experiencing such a huge amount of orders and demand, it might yet be a little while… however, I must say that it will be well worth the wait, seeing that the cruz cajon will be better than ever before made of much better wood when we stock up again! :-) ) Sign up to our newsletter to stay updated!

      Hello John

      The only cajon brand I wouldrecommend is my own signature line brand. I know it’s a bit above your price range, but not to worry, for the last month I have been working on adding a a few new models to my Cruz range, being the kids cajons and now also a really great quality, handmade, beginners cajon, which will be sold for a bit less than my current models. If you can hang in abit, I should have them out within the next month! :-)

      One thing I can say is that it will be the best value for money you can get!

      Hey!!! Again I translated it and this is what I got:

      Хайди hi still time. Prompt please what to buy кахон??? What кахон will be better to sound under a guitar? In the Internet has found different tools in the sizes and the prices. I do not know what to choose. In advance thanks!!! And how you find time to answer everyone who writes to you?:))))))))

      It seems you are asking which cajon to buy? I would recommend the CRUZ CAJON Guitar string, it’s the one I play the most. The colour is up to you what you prefer! :-)

      Thanks!

    Hi Heidi,

    My son, aged 9, is learning standard drums and has been for 2.5 years. However, it’s rather a solitary occupation and a friend suggested I take him along to a percussion workshop to enjoy another aspect and fire his enthusiasm a bit. First of all, is he too young to attend the Cambridge workshops and if not, would he need to be at the first one and come to all of them? It’s quite a late finish for him on a school night. Are you planning any daytime workshops in Cambridge?

    Many thanks!

      Hi Louis

      Good to hear from you. firstly, no your son is not too young, we have a few other youngsters in our class (it’s oretty mixed), there’s another 11 yr old, a 10 yr old, a 13 yr old, a 14 yr old and a 16 yr old. Seeing that he already plays drums, I am certain that he would definitely be just as good if not better on the cajon than most of the adult students! :-) He’d be most welcome, we started up yesterday, but you can enrol him from next week. If you want to do that, please send me an email at londoncajonschool@gmail.com and we’ll get him on the course!

      P.S about the saytime workshops, initially I wanted to do a seperate kids class at 4:30 pm on wed, but I need more interest, more kids interested to do that. I am working on it and it might just be that we split the class in about 2 weeks time once I have enough interest from the younger one’s. If you can promote it or just spread the news, that could definitely speed up this process! :-) I think I will get in touch with some of the musical directors in Cambridge who work with the kids, to see if they might be interested in letting people know about this cajon course)

      Many thanks!

    Heidi,

    Had a great time at the HANGOVER , despite the snow. I have posted photos on facebook if you’d like to become friends.
    Also, one of the venues at which we run workshops in the Summer, Hawkwood College, near Stroud, is hoping to run a weekend with Layne Redmond in August….. thought that you’d like to know. IF this comes off , Lina and I will definitely be there- unmissable!

    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

    • Heidi Joubert Post author

      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!

      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….

    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?

    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

    • Heidi Joubert Post author

      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!

        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?

    Hi,
    I’m writing from Palermo (Italy). I’m interested in buying the “Prk cajon rabosio” http://www.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 Post author

      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

    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.

      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!
