There are great playing cajon drums produced all over the world. Buying a locally made cajon recycles your hard earned money through your local community and helps reduce the carbon footprint of your cajon purchase. You can help mitigate climate change - there's just no need to import a cajon halfway around the world in a big container ship.

But what about quality? Many local cajon makers have produced hundreds of instruments and have excellent reputations with local musicians. 'DIY' cajons produced in limited number are NOT listed on these pages.

The Cajons by Country pages have links to the builders website or Facebook page. It's pretty easy to find someone near you, there's over 50 cajon builders in the USA alone.

While the best way to choose a cajon is to sit on a box and play it, "try before you buy" is not always possible. A quick discussion with your local cajon builder can ensure you get the best product for your playing style.
