These videos are such a gift. Thank you so much for giving this gift to the world. It is SO meaningful for so many people who can't afford lessons and don't have access to teachers. The time, effort, and heart you bring to this video series. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you!
I've been choosing mostly songs and arrangements that we do at my church, and ones that have been requested. We do a variety of older hymns, but they cycle through much slower, so there hasn't been as much pressure to get them done. They're all more modern arrangements, too. Lately, though, our worship pastor and myself have been doing a lot of hymn arrangements ourselves and recording them in my studio for our band to learn; making cajon videos of those versions would be almost exclusively helpful to those in our church, unless we start publishing those arrangements and other churches like them enough to use them. Sorry, that was a long answer. The oldest song that I can think of that I've done (and need to edit/upload) is the Charlie Hall version of Revive Us Again.
Concerning adjustable snare cajon. If you shorten the snare wire by up to half would that be beneficial to the tone and playability to reduce snare bleed over into the bass tone ? Is it even possible to get a pure bass tone in an acoustic setting without hearing a little snare noise ?
Halving the wires would probably just make the snare response really subtle, if the wires even still made contact with the front head. Adjustable models usually have a mechanism where you can increase or decrease the pressure of the wires on the front plate. Unfortunately, with snares engaged it's not possible to have a pure bass tone due to the placement of the wires in every model I've seen. Perhaps there's model out there with the snares located closer to the top for this reason. Another option, if you want something less buzzy might be a string cajon, where strings are used instead of snare wires.

@@ChurchMusicBoxPlayer would definitely be keen to learn those arrangements for hymns if you ever publish on here, thanks so much.
