does this fit on any cajon? I have a Latin percussion flamanco style cajon with snare wire inside. Will this contraption fit on the hole?

it definitely will fit on any types of cajons, i own quite a few diffrent brands and try this kick port on them all. The thing is they provide you with some sort of thick soft pieces to put in between kick port and the rim of your cajon soundhole so it will surely fit, just up to you how tight you want it to be (these pieces included in kick port purchase). Only one thing i would like to address is it seem to me that he kick port work really well with Flamenco cajon type (snare wires) and not SO well with strings (guitar or piano) attached against the back of cajon frontplate. It may have to do with the wood though but thats my exp :)). Go for it mate and share with us how it goes.

It should. This unit fits into most Cajons . If it has a standard hole, it will fit

Yes it will, it comes with a velcro piece, you can use for added security. It does come out easily though, but once installed it's nice and snug.

The hole has to be a minimum of 4 1/2" (11.5cm) circumference. It also extends 5" (13cm) into the cajon.

Based on the pictures I've found of the port hole on LP flamenco-style cajons (cajones?) it looks like it's at least 4 1/2" so the KickPort should fit. I had to enlarge the port on my Gon Bops Alex Acuna Signature though. It was only 4"...talk about a pain. Once it's installed though it really does make a huge improvement in the sound.

I have a Menil....and I thought the holes were universal? I'm really unsure!

It comes with velcro to build up the diameter so it will fit most ports. I did not like it so I bought a PVC coupling and remove the face plate to mount it. Sounds great!

It will depend if the groove in your bridge is slotted for a wide saddle or a narrow one. I think most of them are narrow. I got a narrow one and I put it on my Blueridge guitar & it fit good. I do not know what the measurements are for the grooves, but I know on my Martin D-35 the groove was narrow, & I have an Epiphone that has a narrow groove. If the groove has been widened for a compensated saddle you should be able to compare it to another guitar. Hope this helps. blugrsindn

This is basically for standard hole size guitar... I also have a fender acoustic electric with a small body in addition to the ibanez acoustic and it did not fit.. So i would say no, but i dont know.

Nice guiitar but I don't know. I installed it on a Gibson 339 and it took longer to string the Bigsby than to install it. It's a fantastic mod and uses the original stop tail mounting sleeves. That being said I have a PRS Artist custom 24 and agree with Chuckiebumps that the carved top is definitely a consideration. Plus the position of the switch may be troublesome with the bigsby arm even if the Vibramate installs properly. I know they have some carved top guitar images on their site so I'd email Brian at Vibramate. He was very helpful and very responsive to my question. info@vibramate.com Nice guiitar but I don't know.

I have steel strings. The diameter of my acoustic guitar is 4". It fits nicely ... if the hole is smaller I don't think it will fit.The sound is not bad for the price.

Hole too big for lower resonator chamber on my 2006 Sedona. Cutting off the old connection and inserting into the new worked. Had to use two hose clamps end to end since I didn't have a spare clamp the right size. Original clamp didn't have enough play.

Should fit all standard sound holes. Does not fit 3/4 or half size Guitars due to the sound hole sizing.

It might fit on one of those old style gooseneck stems. It fits my bars at 7/8" diameter and it looks like the clamp will go at least a 1/4" bigger, maybe more up to 1/2" bigger. The bell is 2 1/8" diameter, and 2 3/4" including the lever that rings the bell. Also, this bell sounds great!!

I placed mine slightly to the left hand side (about 1-2 inches as sitting on the cajon), off of center, with the snare touching the playing surface (Note: I had to untangle and straighten the snares with my cajon kit). This produced a satisfying snare sound. Not sure if placing directly in center or experimenting with bending the snares will produce more or less snare. Have had too much fun playing to care : )

I have mine mounted on a snare drum and it works fine. I imagine a tom would work too.

Yes. The snare attaches to a triangular piece of wood that is mounted at the inside upper front corner of the front face and the top. The snare then hangs downward so the wires touch the inside surface of the front face. Not every inch of snare wire will be in contact with the wood surface. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Not sure about that... The sound hole on my nylon string guitar is a bit small for the pickup. I did try to see if would fit if I took the strings off and got at it that way, but that was all to no avail as the last time I used the pickup I stood on the cord when I stood up and it has broken the lead (the way the cord hangs from such pickups is a bit of a problem, I think) - so at the moment nothing works! However, the manual says: "We recommend you string your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response from the pickup."

This is a great case first of all. I have an ibanez and a Peavey electric they fit easily. If yours is not too much thicker than a typical solid body it will work. Hope this helps.

Yes, it fits the sound hole on a standard body, dreadnaught, and jumbo size from most makers. If it doesn't fit tightly but covers the sound hole, it will still help. If it is a little bigger than the sound hole you can slid one of the tabs in and either trim the other tab or let it sit on top of the face. Even without a perfect fit it is better to keep the right humidity level inside the body than let the body dry out.

A standard or bugle head screw would not work- it'd be too large to go through the opening, I think. And then it would show which would defeat the whole reason to use the jig. I've had a deck with these screws installed for 2.5 years now without screws loosening (redwood over treated framing).

I have used it on Alvarez, Gibson, Yamaha, and Fender acoustics. I'm pretty sure it will fit just about any size sound hole on the market

It fits on top of a harp but, the hole is VERY small. I had to buy a special 1/2 inch drill bit to drill the hole out to make it fit
