Evolution...

q-jon

In the beginning there was a box...

Yet a simple Cajon with only one sound-chamber has got its special charm

 

Anyway... as a musician and craftsman I wanted more!


So, why not put more into the box, to get more out?

I started several experiments to divide the internal space in multiple resonance chambers, combined different kinds of wood, and finally integrated percussion-instruments like Agogo, Chimes, Bells, Clave and so on.

Most important to me is the very good playability.
That´s why the additional elements are situated INSIDE the instrument within the reach of both, left and right hands.
So it´s great fun to combine the sounds in a very easy way while playing the Q-Jon.

This results in a sonority of a whole drum ensemble.
