Timothy Daniels I am not too good in technical things but I decided to just have a go at building it myself. I am glad I did because it really was not difficult and I did have fun. After I received the cajon I was amazed at the sound for the price. It sounds great in a small room and in a big hall with microphone. Ron MacDonald Thank you to Sela for inventing this cajon. It was easy to put together and the instructions along with the high quality parts made it almost a breeze. The sound of this cajon is big. I love the tones and kick it gives me.
