Turkish Ion Anchored in the sounds of Turkish percussion and inspired by the darbuka, this íon has a skin made of synthetic material with a green surface. This material is often used in professional instruments nowadays, as it is not affected by climatic conditions such as humidity, which could lead to a loss of tension. This type of skin is very light by nature and must be protected from sharp objects and accidental impacts. However, the thinness of Turkish íon is also its greatest advantage, as it offers exceptional responsiveness and sound projection, with full and powerful mid-tones as well as strong, bright highs. For this reason, it lends itself particularly well to a playing technique known as ?Turkish technique', although it can be played in many different ways.
- Made of natural birch wood and synthetic head - Installation is simple: using the Allen key supplied with the Iconic Cajon (usually found on the bottom edge of the sound hole), loosen the 8 screws and insert the íon accordingly. Then tighten the screws again. The skin tension and thus the sound of the íon can be influenced. The tuning of the íon changes depending on how tightly the screws are tightened. Experiment with a quarter to half a turn per screw to see how the sound changes until you like it. Make sure that the íon is not too loose.
