IndiepopBand has a character limit of 500 that didn’t suffice for my new instrument collection post, so I posted it at sunny.garden: https://sunny.garden/@babumenos/110162839922799455

Quick, quick! Before everybody vanishes into Easter celebrations (“Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out …”), let me continue my little instrument collection series, today with two modern variants of the traditional cajon (which I will introduce in a later post).

On the right side, that’s a cajonito, closed on all four sides with just a sound hole drilled into the back. You’ll hear three different sound examples — the cajonito is a very versatile instrument with very distinct sounds on each side.

On the left, that’s a bongo cajon. It is open at the bottom and has two different sized areas, both with a spring on the inside, and is played much like a regular bongo, as you will hear in the fourth sound example.
