A Cajon is a simple, wooden box drum. In fact, Cajon is a spanish word which can be translated as "box" or "drawer". The Cajon originated in Peru. When African Slaves were brought to South-America, they were not allowed to play drums. They started to use simple wooden boxes and shipping crates as substitutes. The Cajon was born. The cajon has enjoyed an amazing surge in popularity in recent times,
and with good reason. This simple, yet effective instrument, gives an amazing sound, like a drum kit in a box. It is simple enough to get started for anyone, but challenging enough that there is always something new to master. Arc Handmade Cajons are sturdy built snare cajon, with ability to adjust the snare to an on or off position, to change the sound of the instrument.
