So, getting excited about building my cajon, I did a lot of research on the web, and You Tube. There were some excellent tutorials, and detailed writeups of other peoples adventures in cajon-ing.
Along the way, I came across a kit, marketed by a company called Schlagwerk in Germany.
So, I got another idea. Why not use the kit as a learning experience and make it while I make my custom cajon?
The Schlagwerk website showed two dealers for their products in Canada, one in BC and one in Montreal Quebec, Timpano Percussion. www.timpano-percussion.com
I emailed the BC store but they did not stock it. Timpano Percussion however advised they had one on order coming in, so I asked them to hold one for me.
I was very pleased with the customer service from Timpano Percussion, they kept in touch, gave me realistic expected ship dates and were a pleasure to deal with via email and on the phone for the final order.
And the parcel arrived just before Christmas!
Colin builds a cajon...well 2 cajons actually, on his living room floor. (To follow my progress, read from the bottom of the blog up...)
