Mark, on a different note, you mentioned you built a tongue drum. Did you pitch it? Is there some formula for determining pitch?

Mark, I don't know if you are considering this when planning on installing the snares, but do you want different zones in the cajon or not? Some designs have the entire cajon live with snares while others have distinct snare zones. My wife has the Peruvian made Gon Bop Alex Acuna model and the snare...

Hey Mark, don't know if this will help but Lee Valley Tools last newsletter had a cajon build in it. Here is a link to that

Thanks for the welcome Mark, any pics?

are there any hand drum builders here?
I have been building stave built djembes and ashikos--anybody else? what are you building?
