Steve's Strings

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 ม.ค. 2019
Hi,
I'm Steve Gerardi. I'm an occupational therapist, university professor, novice ukulele player, and cigar box guitar luthier. I started this channel to share my journey of discovery in learning to build and play stringed musical instruments. While searching for videos on how to play the ukulele, I discovered Justin Johnson playing a three-stringed shovel guitar! Seeing him shred that shovel using nothing but three fingers and a slide gave me hope that I could learn to play a musical instrument late in life. From there, I discovered Del Puckett's cigar box guitar building videos and became inspired to build instruments myself. So far, I have built diddley bows, cigar box guitars and ukuleles, candy tin ukuleles, and cookie tin banjos. I have also added instrument reviews to my channel. Join me on my journey of musical discovery. The fun has just begun!

Todo cajon acessories review
In this video, I review the TODO Music cajon (box drum) add-on accessory pack. This accessories pack comes with two castanets, a rhythmic shaker and two tambourines.
For full disclosure, this product was sent to me at no cost, to do a review.
I received no other compensation for this review.
The TODO Music travel cajon is well-built, looks nice, and sounds as you would expect for a travel cajon. The detachable snare gives the player more sonic options.
