Pyle PCJD25 Owner's manual

PCJD25 - PCJD16 cajon is a box, usually constructed from hardwood, that

you sit on whilst playing. When you hit any face of the cajon, the wood will

resonate to produce a tone. Harder woods like birch & beech tend to produce

stronger more dened bass tones & more cutting high tones. Each wood has

its own sound characteristics. The top surface forms a seat.

The best approach to playing your cajon is to spend time playing the various

surfaces using dierent intensities (hardness) of stroke & playing in dierent

places (eg. top, middle, bottom, side). Get to know your cajon & understand

how you create dierent tones & sounds.
