Product Description
Beautifully inlaid and designed, this Peruvian work of art is uniquely designed to reduce the sound of the snare wires when playing a bass tone. This allows the musician to get the optimal sonic characteristics of both a traditional Cajon and a flamenco Cajon.
this gorgeous instrument is also one of the best-sounding Cajon available Anywhere. Its deep, resonant bass tones are awe-inspiring, but playing closer to the edges results in multiple levels of “snap” as the minimalist guitar string wires are engaged − resulting in some truly sublime effects. That’s because the wires are configured diagonally across the top corners of the Cajon for reduced snare sound while playing bass tones. An increased number of adjustable screws also results in greater control over snap and resonance. The seamless finish features Peruvian hardwood dovetailed corners with smoothly rounded joints. And individual multi-coloured wood tiles are arranged into a spectacular wooden mosaic. It’s all hand-made and meticulously tested by skilled Peruvian craftsmen in our Gon Bops Cajon Shop!.

As for the sound? Also very good. Crisp snares in the corners, deep and resonating bass in the middle, and the strategically placed strings really do minimize (albeit do not eliminate) the "buzz" you get from bass hits on many cajones.
My only minor gripes (minor enough that it still gets five stars)? As with most cajons, the bass could be deeper. It's nice, but the deeper the better. And, in part because I have short arms, getting the best bass tone requires me to bend down just a bit more than I'd like. Again, most cajones are similar, but I would love one that put the bass sweet spot a little higher up on the drum.
That said, this cajon sounds 100 times better than any you'll find displayed in a big box store, and I'm totally happy with my purchase. If you're deciding between something like basic Meinl box and this? Get this. It's well worth the few extra bucks.
And NO, it wasn’t. Finally, it came time to upgrade our cajon, and we got it here on Amazon. It’s a beautiful visual piece. But sound quality and variety (snare and kick) almost sounded identical. No room for changes. Such a let down!
Seller on the other hand was awesome to work with!
My only complaint is that the two middle screws along the top edge aren't countersunk very well on mine, and they hurt my knuckles if I'm not careful. I'll need to sink them a bit better, but then I'll have a great instrument.
I ended up with a meinl sub cajon, and I avsolutely love it, and it was a hundred bucks less.
Just now I saw a used one for one-twenty, and I’d consider that If I was attracted to the all-wood pretty design.

The shipment was super (super!) fast - and "free". The Gon Bops cajon was packaged inside its case (nothing remarkable; it's just a case) which was inside a box, inside a larger box. There was no way this was getting damaged in transit. However, my beautiful cajon arrived with a few small flaws and some actual damage (see pictures). For the premium price, I expected an absolutely flawless instrument. Instead, I received what is obviously a returned purchase or factory second. Not a deal breaker but I just wanted to share my experience with potential buyers. I wish sellers and Amazon would be more honest about how they do business. If you're selling a used or returned item, SAY SO.

I definitely recommend this cajon.
