Pyle PCJD16 15" Stringed Jam Wooden Cajon Percussion Box with Sound Hole, Birch Wood

PCJD16 cajon is a box, usually constructed from hardwood, that you sit on whilst playing. When you hit any face of the cajon, the wood will resonate to produce a tone. Harder woods like birch & beech tend to produce stronger more defined bass tones & more cutting high tones. Each wood has its own sound characteristics. The top surface forms a seat. The best approach to playing your cajon is to spend time playing the various surfaces using different intensities (hardness) of stroke & playing in different places (eg. top, middle, bottom, side). Get to know your cajon & understand how you create different tones & sounds.
