yo my cajon buzzes a lot idk why
-
@vinaGfolife tighten it using the tightener inside the cajon, you tighten the tighten the two scrrewws on the bottom of the cajon. I had the same problem, now resolved!
-
i really dont understand how every cajon drum i hear on youtube sounds nothing like mine. i just got a meinl cajon natural as a gift and im so dissapointed cuz it keeps buzzing and rattling not matter how i tune it! any ideas about what i should do?
-
dont buy a string cajon. get one with snares. they sound way better and barely resonate.
-
is there any any any way i can get the bass to sound nice and clean? i have that buzzy sound and i'd really enjoy it without that sound. i thought i could loosen the screws but it's not really helping. i still get that buzz sound on the bass. my dad went out of his way to get this and i don't wanna be an asshole and say "we gotta sell it on ebay cause i can't get it the way i want it"

D6 for the win.

What is a good Cajon thats not to expensive but still good.
also do you have to tune the strings any?
-
i got this cajon today. and i wasn't sure how the contrast would be but i am extremely pleased with the bass tone. the corners and top can get very good snare sounds also
how tight should the strings be on the cajon

they are pretty tight. if you were to strum them from the inside like a guitar they are pretty tight feeling. the tighter they are the more "snap" sound you get it seems. Mine has a problem though that one of the strings is not tightening. I had no choice but to take a piece of scotch tape and tape it to the drum. That eliminated the buzzing, but sacrificed a bit of the sound.

hey. what kind of cajon did you buy? I've found that the cheaper meinl headliner series are stuck sounding bad no matter what you do.
what you hear in this video was basically how it sounded right out of the box. since then i've tuned it a bit more to my liking. Made the strings tighter using the allen screw on the holes on the underside of the cajon. i kept the top screws on the faceplate relatively tight, just a little looser then the tightest they go. let me know how this works for you.
