All Box Cajons are made with quality plywood and are equiped with snares; some have slap corners and some have jingles. Usually they are made in 12", 14" and 16" sizes. Sylvan Temple likes creating open-bottomed 16" Cajons, with acoustic ports in the sides. Arrive at the jam with your other drums and goodies inside.
The other Cajons are Goblet Cajons. Simply, they are a cylindrical drum with a wood skin, and can be styled as Djembes or Doumbeks. These are no hassle drums with a surprising range, and are great with jingles inside. However, treat them well: unlike box Cajons, these plywood skins are mounted to a solid wood drum shell, so the plywood top's rigidity makes them less robust than conventional drums with more flexible skins.

Box Cajon $300 to $400 Goblet Cajon $160 to $400 depending on the kind of wood and the drum size.
