  • The barbeque grill is resting loosely on the front-plate; I've attached it with wire. I had the experiment a bit to get the right kind of rattling effect.

  • Where did you place the barbeque grill exactly? I really like the sound, i got a microwave thats gonna bust, i might do this.

  • awsome

  • Simplemente genial y original, gracias por compartir tu idea.

  • this is EPIC!!

    wow i would never ever get to the idea to build a CAHON out of a MICROWAVE :D

    thanks for the nice ideas!!

  • wow.. actually it sounds good..i'll try to make one. hahaha

  • if you want a lower frequency, the hole has to be (a lot) smaller...

  • thats friggin awesome

  • Can you give some more details like

    whats inside, and how you attached frontplate?

  • I used the existing holes in the microwave case to screw the wood to. And bits of wire to loosely attach the barbecue grill stuff so it hung behind the top of the wood and rattled nicely.

  • @padx71

    can you explain in details how to fix the grill..

    is it just behind the wood??

  • The BBQ grille is wired loosely to holes in the microwave casing so it hangs against the wood; it needs a bit of experimentation. The screw at the top is quite loose to allow everything to rattle a bit. Real cajone sound nicer, but this was a fun bit of recycling.

  • Good lateral thinking, I like it!!

  • yeah good stuff, to start of with i thought it was going to be crap, but actually sounds like a steel drum x cajon.

  • it sounds shit but might just be your playing

    microwaves are sin you are a disgrace to music itself

  • Incredible! I like the sound. Reall different to all the others (wooden) Cajons. Great, Man! Get in contact with manufacters and Brass On!

  • nice man how you come with this idea its great!!!?

  • nice idea... i can salvage my microwave and make one like that... Cool...

  • Glad you liked it. Mine had its first gig on Saturday, and a proper latin american musician recognised it as a cajon! Good luck with your project.
