Hi Hans!
I just have to say something in regards to a Cajon basically its almost like a guitar where you or the person who is playing it will have to go down personally to try it out... Trust me i had countless arguements with my fellow percussionist on which cajon sounds better and sometimes its based on the position and the style you play it.. personally i prefer the wood ones instead of the upholstered Mein ones as the sound of the "crack" from the snare sounds better... if your a bassy guy then go for the Mein Upholstered one =) like i said before personal preference.. btw try sitting on the cajon and hitting the position with the optimal bass sound with ur hand casped... this position changes from cajon to cajon so the spot that u feel most comfortable with go for it =) another advise if u got the cash to spare is to buy the plug in version it be easier cus cajons are quite a trick to mic if u ask any of the soundman around... yup yup i think thats about it.. hmm dont be surprised though if some cajons imported internationally doesnt have a snare within cus the origins of the cajon doesnt have a snare wire its just smartasses like us who put it in whahaha =P have fun!!
Thanks guys. Hmm, I saw one at guitar 77 that has a solid snare and bass sound. Hmm, razoredge, good one! i didn't know, the original cajon didn't have snares. But sadly, i notice alot of cajons out there for sale not up to my expectations, especially the snare and the boomy bass.. I'm still on e Hunt for it! any leads, please lemme know yeah? Thanks very much!
Most of the time is hard to get a nice sound from the cajon usually its either the bass or the snare would sound better this is due to the construction of the cajon... maybe you might wanna adjust the snare tention or snare position for a better snare sound? i donno might just work?

hi, does anyone know where I can find cheap or 2nd hand cajons? my budget would be around 150 to 200 bucks.
Any suggestions on how to inspect the quality of a new cajon?
