+íon is a small group of musicians and craftsmen working out of a small artisan workshop in the southeast of Spain.
In order to marry our great respect for tradition with our need for new and innovative sounds, we had to think outside the box.
And it was this very phrase that proved to be our inspiration for the +íon patented system. As musicians, we always felt that the sides of the cajon had untapped potential as percussive surfaces, and so began the lengthy process of designing and refining our patented +íon system which allows our interchangeable drum heads to be fitted to the outside of the cajon.
This system represents the evolution of a traditional instrument.
We think outside the box so that you can play outside the box.
