I read it all two times! But I still have no idea how you play on that black box called cajon (cahone), that picture where this box stands alone there with guitarist did'n clarify anything to me. I thought may be it is connected to some back unseen equipment, but I don't see any cords coming from it. So I infinitely (just as your cortado coffee) confused about it. I have this microlab stereo which look just the same as this cajon . Tell me, is it a drum?

Hi @johnstone thanks for responding and thanks for inspiring part **3 of 2.** It鈥檚 just a box. No chords and no electricity required for this acoustic instrument. It has some secret stuff inside that I didn鈥檛 talk about (See part 3 of 2). Traditionally, we play Caj贸n with our hands. (some people use a brush) First we sit ontop of it, reach down between our legs, and then smack it with our palms and finger tips to produce different sounds. Since I鈥檓 trying to play it like a drum set, I mainly use my right hand鈥檚 palm to strike the middle of the caj贸n when I want a low tone (bass drum type sound). Then I鈥檒l use my left hand to strike to top left corner to get a higher pitched tone that also brings out the snares. On this black caj贸n, the top left corner is pealing away from the wood a little. When I smack it with my fingers, it produces a really cool snap type sound that accentuates the snares inside. I should create a video to show you. Thanks for teaching me with your questions John. Microlab Stereo sounds like an all in one battery powered portable speaker used to play music by bands like Stereo Lab. Is it?
