Incomprehensive List of Cajón Brands (updated April, 2013)

So many cajón producers come and go throughout the world that it's impossible for me to keep up with them (much less keep their links active). Hopefully this list is helpful to you; it certainly would have been to me when I was first researching cajóns.
