A pal asked if I could turn a two-bottle LCBO gift box into a mini-cajon.
The results were pleasing.
I bought a snare wire for $20, a strip of cedar for the sound board, and some 3/8 quarter round to reinforce the box.
The thin plywood bottle separator became the snare wire anchor, adjustable for front- or side-slap activation. The sound board itself can be slid open or closed for a crisp or muted snap. The sound hole blank decorates the top.
Customer happy.
