COVID-19 is hitting the economy harder than anything we've seen in most of our lifetimes. Few are getting hit harder than those of us in the entertainment industry. Almost overnight, most of the musicians I know have found their incomes completely cancelled for the foreseeable future, myself included. It has become imperative for me to find ways to increase my cash flow without leaving the house. Building cajons is my best option. 

I'm offering $100 OFF  all Birch and Bamboo Flagship Cajons until we get to the other side of outbreak. 

The top cajon players and makers agree, if the best quality sound is what you are after, a solid wood body is clearly superior to plywood.

For a versatile professional quality cajon with a great bass tone that won't break the bank, consider our most popular model, the Birch Flagship.

Having produced hundreds of distinct original Cajon designs, I'm only just getting started. Each player has their unique needs to be met. As a percussionist who's passion is the Tabla of Northern India, with a background as a drum set player, I understand that the typical cajon may not be for you. That's why I give you my phone number and email. Call me, text me, whatever you want. Let's start discussing your ideal cajon configuration.

Makers have long been using guitar and piano strings in cajon to produce a reflective sound, or buzz which gives a different articulation to the cajon. This is a preferred sound for Flamenco, and some Peruvian players. This is the most common style of cajon in the world. I have adapted the traditional construction with one tapa, to add a second tapa with a sound hole on the side so that the player has more tones and sounds to work with. If you would like to order the traditional construction with one tapa and a sound hole in the back, contact Andy Skellenger directly.

My design of adjustable/mutable snares allows you to emulate the sounds of many different kinds of cajón because they can be adjusted so finely with the simple turn of a knob. The snares can be completely muted making possible a preferred sound of many Peruvian percussionists which emphasizes articulation and tone.  This muted setting is also ideal while playing the tonal head, which is meant to sound like the Cuban style "Bajo" cajón. Most Nautilus cajóns include entorchadas.

How to use the adjustable/mutable snares on Nautilus Cajons.

"Bajo" cajons have no snares or strings and feature the resonant sound of the drum itself. With one or two tonal (glued) tapas, the overall sound of these drums is warm, round and resonant.

This very sturdy and consistent material has been a favorite of speaker box builders for a long time because it is super resonant, especially on the bass side of the spectrum, durable and affordable. The quality, versatility, bass tone, and price of these models make this line of cajons a good choice for the serious professional or beginner.
