Yes! a big thank you Pepote and you brother for the tour and great video. Love my Artisan Catina Limba.

[@CajonMaster]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TroySchulz]

That what's fantastic! I want to see more content like this.

[@CajonMaster]

You got it! thanks a lot :) Cheers!

[@TroySchulzHBCS]

@@CajonMasterThat cajon he made you is absolutely GORGEOUS! And, of course, now it is also priceless! It's a one of a kind!

[@nitram_nosnibor]

Wow I have been waiting to watch this since you posted it, just needed the time. And it was well worth the wait, what an incredible video and well made. It was great to watch and I have learnt a LOT. I am thinking about replacing my current Cajon and I think I know which one to go for next :) Thanks again Felipe you must be very pleased with your unique Cajon, I'm looking forward to listening to it being played 👍🏻

[@jbw5923]

Felipe, what a great video. I’ll bet you had a great time. And now you have a custom cajon. Fantastic

[@CajonMaster]

It was a great experience my friend :) Can't wait to start sharing the videos with the new cajon ;)

[@jbw5923]

@@CajonMaster I haven’t played in months. Other things going on. Just started again and found out the cajon really works well for American blues. Pretty simple patterns for beginners.

[@CajonMaster]

Great to hear you are back and motivated. Blues is great on cajon. Have you seen my blues shuffle tutorials?

[@jbw5923]

@@CajonMaster oh yeah

[@jbw5923]

I just had something interesting happen. I put my phone on video and put it BEHIND my cajon. The audio has much less snare noise on the bass notes than what I hear while I’m playing. 🤷‍♂️

[@ogretattoo]

There is something unbelievably special about artisan-made products. Even with the machines, it takes so much work to get the right wood and a steady hand to keep it from falling apart. Traditions like these are passed down through the centuries and hopefully for many more to come.

[@CajonMaster]

Great point! thanks for the words.

[@ogretattoo]

One note though, I hope Pepote and his crew normally wear masks. A build-up of wood dust both crude and fine is not good for the lungs. 🙂

[@CajonMaster]

Yes he does. And all the workers as well.

[@peterdalby8019]

Excellent stuff from the maestro! ❤❤

[@CajonMaster]

Thank you for your comment! Cheers!

[@TheCorrina22]

That is so special! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your cajon is beautiful!

[@CajonMaster]

Thank you so much! glad you like Corrina ;)

[@Geekvolution]

This was such a well-produced and educational video. Felt like I was there with you. I kept imagining Mr. Rogers on a neighborhood visit, haha.

[@CajonMaster]

thanks! glad you like it ;)

[@jay-uk3qx]

Thank you so much for your video, It is awesome! I just placed an order last week for a Buleria with the new tulip tapa. Even more excited for it to arrive after seeing this! The passion behind these is truly special.

[@CajonMaster]

Glad it was helpful! You'll love the Buleria :)

[@marksouza1944]

This was an amazing video. Thank you my friend.

[@CajonMaster]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BrassyBroadJen]

So cool to see this process. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@CajonMaster]

[@shedroids]

Absolutely wonderful!!! Love your choice of tapa as well!! And the 3 Amigos playing, whooo!!!

[@CajonMaster]

Thanks so much!!

[@drumjunkie24]

Good stuff. I enjoy your content. Some day, hopefully, I will have a Pepote on my channel also. Thank you for sharing such wonderful information.

[@CajonMaster]

Wow! That must have been a great trip! Thanks for sharing it with us. Congratulations on your new cajon! Looking forward to hearing it.

[@psjones1961]

And I’ll second the other comments about workplace health and safety! ❤️👊🏻

[@CajonMaster]

[@patrickselden5747]

Fascinating... ☝️😎

[@dranrebjuromay8253]

Amazingly done. What an awesome process to do it. So precise, so mind blowing! I heard the sound of it from your other video and its so great! How I wish I can have Meinl cajon too... You rock man, nice vid! 🤘

[@CajonMaster]

thanks a lot!

[@davidharrison7030]

Marvelous video. So evocative.

[@CajonMaster]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KenKadwell]

Wonderful video! I chose Meinl for my cajon and accessories. My next cajon will be an artisan series.

[@CajonMaster]

Good choice!

[@Arlojigue]

Sangat menarik, masyarakat, musik dan cajonnya ❤❤❤❤❤

[@deserenados8089]

It’s a beautifull instrument. Enjoy it!

[@CajonMaster]

thanks!

[@amartyabanik8643]

Ulala my favorite video❤😮🎉

[@CajonMaster]

happy you like it my friend :)

[@edzak7001]

For a comparison and please…no disrespect to you or this video, have you seen on KZbin how a Kopf Cajon is made? How Kopf selects their SOLID 3/4” thick natural woods? How Kopf uses a finger joint to clamp and glue the 3/4” solid pieces together? How Kopf vacuum seals and sandwiches their Tapa face plate? All of this makes their Cajon sound deeper, richer, warmer with a fantastic response! I would check Kopf Percussion out!

[@CajonMaster]

I will it out ;)

[@AlexKucera]

Great video. I hope the maestro does wear protective gear when he isn’t showing you how to do it. All that fine sanding dust and aerosols can’t be good for your lungs.

[@CajonMaster]

Thanks for the comment Alex. Yes he does when its necessary.

[@davidbarberoserrano1002]

Thanks for the video, Felipe. But I have a Pepote's cajon and it's a real piece of crap.

[@CajonMaster]

Really? which model do you have?

[@davidbarberoserrano1002]

A Martin Röttger Signature. It sounds like a fruit box. I use it by the lateral por practise.
