The story behind the Cajoneros

With the invaluable help of designer Pedro Rodiguez they set off to create not only a selection of colourful instruments, inspired by the cultural and artistic movement of Barcelona, they also achieved the perfect balance between sound, aesthetics and durability with a universal model.

Their philosophy of producing the best quickly earned them a reputation amongst the dominant figures of the flamenco scene. But this was only the beginning. They have seen their instruments used in almost every music style and broadened the PRK family of musicians. So, it is without doubt, that today PRK are acknow-ledged as being the unparalleled leaders in their field.

The Materials: For a universal model

Cedar wood reinforcements: This high-density wood provides additional reinforcement and excellent structural stability.

Conical string holes: The widened angle enables extended string life.

Antioxidant screws: Because sweaty hands make rust.

Superior birch wood: The body is made of marine plywood, with a similar process used in the yachting industry. As a result the specially treated birch provides an excellent surface hardness and is moisture resistant.

Birch front panel: An uncommon system using 3 layers of marine plywood at 1mm each, provides the perfect flexibility and precision whilst offering a comfortable playing surface that is easy on the hands.

Strings: The resonator strings have been designed by PRK and are built exclusively for them. The specific string positioning ensures a clear separation between treble and bass sounds, creating a beautiful depth and a lush frequency response.

Ergonomic felt feet: The feet of the Cajon are made of high density felt in differing heights front and rear to tilt the Cajon at an ergonomic angle to enable a more comfortable playing posture.

The construction: Hand made by artisans

All instruments are exclusively hand made by expert artisans Alejandro González and Jorge Barrachina from their base in Barcelona.Each individual piece of the Cajon, inside and out, is carefully hand polished to provide extra definition, clarity and intensity of sound. Perfectly shaped lines to achieve superb looks and exquisite sonic harmony.

Eco friendly:

The environment is important to all of us. As such, all woods originate from sustainable resources and are provided by certified suppliers. Fur-thermore, as part of their eco friendly policy, every instrument comes with a small box of seeds so you can plant new trees and do your own bit for the environment.

Quality control:

For additional peace of mind, each instrument receives a certified seal of approval with its own allocated serial number. This is only achieved after undergoing a fine-tuning phase and strict quality control process.

10 year Warranty:

PRK believe that each of their instruments will give you a lifetime’s playing pleasure. That confidence in the build quality is echoed with a 10-year warranty.

The PRK philosophy: Favouring quality to quantity

PRK places the emphasis on quality rather than quantity, designing and building a limited production of outstanding instruments. These are some of the key aspects that make this philosophy a reality:

Choice of materials:All are meticulously selected to ensure they are of the highest quality.
