CAHANG: THE CAJON REINVENTED
A New Freedom for Percussionists
Meet the Cahang, a lightweight, ergonomic cajon alternative that lets you move, play and perform freely
The Cahang is a handmade, ergonomic percussion instrument designed for musicians who want more freedom than a traditional cajon can offer. Its horizontal shape creates a rich sound palette
from deep bass to warm mids and crisp slaps
while allowing you to move, perform and interact with your audience.
Each Cahang is individually crafted in Belgium, giving every instrument its own character in both sound and appearance.
If you’re looking for a percussion instrument that combines mobility, musicality and craftsmanship, the Cahang is the perfect choice.

Matty contacted me in the spring of 2023 asking me to come and take a look at his new instrument. As a drummer/percussionist I was of course interested. Something new to beat, who among us isn't looking forward to that? Ultimately it led to a great collaboration, where I can use the cahang for the Fixkes theater tour.
What makes the cahang so strong compared to other cajons? The flexibility! I can now walk along with the rest of the band for our acoustic part, which is not possible with my other cajon. It is made in such a way that it adheres firmly and that you can move without sacrificing sound or playability. On the contrary, it plays a lot more ergonomics than a classic cajon.
Obviously the most important factor of an instrument is its sound, but here too Matty delivers fantastic custom work. A compact instrument, with a beautiful, warm sound and strong bass. A top instrument!
"Son dreamed of a Cajon able to walk with at concerts, dad reached for the stars and the Cahang was born!
A brilliant, professionally sounding instrument, easy and fun to play, and yes, 100% ergonomic. They are handmade, top quality, and perfectly balanced. There is a great future ahead for this special, unique concept."
