| Assorted Cajongo Snare Fixtures |
|
| Rare, Super Bare, Bare, Sizzle, Snap, Pop, Crack, Hybrid |
Unique qualities of tone can be had from the variety of fixtures. Tight Sizzle sounds to briliant cracking
syncopated tones can be created by applying these to the interior of the Cajon style or the Bongo style "Cajongos".
The typical instalation is in the upper chamber of the unique Cajongo line of cajons or either chamber of the Bongo style
cajons.
Sizzle, Snap, Pop & Crack are fair imitative names for some of these beaded fixtures.
"Hybrid"
is a new addition to the line of beaded fixtures and is made of two strings of each size bead giving a mix of sounds created
by the mix of bead sizes.
The "Bare" snare come standard in the "Primal" line of
cajons. It is made of 8 bare 54 or 56 gauge bronze or stainless steel wound guitar strings. The "Super Bare" is
made of 15 strings, a fuller richer snare tone.
The "Rare" snare is just that because it is made of the
ball ends of the guitar strings used to make the rest of the line. Rare because it takes making 8 other fixtures to make just
one of the Rare.
