CajonExpert.com is a web site totally focused on everything about cajons, run by Stuart Wood of Waywood Music.

Stuart Wood: Why 'Cajon Expert'?

Stuart has played cajons of different makes, types & sizes since the early 1990s when cajons were first being imported into the UK. He has used them in live (acoustic, small amplified & large amplified) settings, in addition to studio recordings.

With an acute musical ear, Stuart understands how the cajon fits in to different musical styles & how to adjust his playing accordingly. So, when he tries any new cajon he always tests different playing intensities (volumes) & techniques to ensure that it performs well in all settings. This means that if you ask him to choose a cajon for your particular musical setting he can find one that fits.

Stuart's playing experience includes acoustic (non-amplified) gigs in shops, pubs, music clubs, acoustic clubs etc) & amplified gigs in pubs, clubs, small concert halls, large concert halls, stadiums. He has also been sound engineer for live bands & shows so understands some of the behind-the-scenes electronics & has recorded,  produced & co-produced albums recorded in the studio.

His attitude is very much, "If you don't know it, learn it!"

Stuart is renowned for his approachability & ability to explain things in easy-to-understand terms, focussing on making sure that customers have learnt what they wanted/needed rather than just telling them what he knows.

Personal relationships & communication are at the top of Stuart's list of priorities.

Stuart has a passion not only for playing, but as a scientist, he has also spent many years discovering what makes a 'good' cajon 'good.' He is still learning as the different cajon manufacturers change designs, try new materials & add all sorts of cajon accessories.

He is also passionate about helping people learn Basics of Playing Cajons

'Met Stu from Waywood Music yesterday to buy my first Cajon; if you're in the market for one check him out as his knowledge and service is second to none!'
