I'll try to remember. I need to create a cottage industry in these things. Our drummer (who runs the drum department of a decent music shop) tells me my cajons are at least as good as the pro ones they sell, so I can at least earn a bit of pin money :)

Not at this time, I'm afraid. My next couple I think are going to have adjustable snares where the wires are mounted on a beam that can be rotated towards the tapa (playing surface) so the amount of wire contact can be varied, so I'll show pics of that. Also I think I'm going to do some sunbursts and trick colours. In addition I need a "Bubba Cajons" logo stamp.

I wouldn't mind a Cajon at some point. My mate Emma had two and she's a really good drummer. I enjoyed fucking about with her Cajons!
