Cheers everyone!!

I have to be honest and say that I really think that Bouillez Acoustics cajon drums are by far one of the most beautiful instruments made in the USA! I know...I am biased but hey...😉😉😎🥁🎶🔥 So much pride and thought goes in to every one. 4 more complete today!!

05/11/2022

Another busy night!! But we're getting them done!!

05/07/2022

Its amazing what mother nature can do on its own. Perfect color and character with just a tiny bit of work by Bouillez Acoustics to give it a voice. Nothing more. Love these drums. Two more coats of clear and they are ready for assembly. 🎶🥁🥳

4 tappas completed and two Gen II's get their first clear coat. The blonde drum looks like birds eye maple but it is definitely beetle kill.

The other one has a ton of color contrast. So stoked to get the other two cleared as well. Sadly they need some insect holes cleaned out which takes a bit of time. Maybe tomorrow I get them ready for the clear.

Cheers everyone!!

FOUR Gen II cajons all set up with new snare assemblies and ready for tappas to be made. Got a ton done this weekend on these after bein out with bronchitis for the last week and a half. Still got it but at least I am getting my energy back. Cheers everyone!!

So excited to get these standards all finished up for our customer in the Springs. He's getting to choose between one of these two. We're in the home stretch with just clear coats and drying time. I'm so excited to see business starting to come back slowly after a year-and-a-half of downtime for the music industry! We have some Gen ll drums coming soon for Christmas inventory. Stay tuned! Cheers everyone!

11/13/2021

Well hello everyone!! After almost 6 months with no work in the shop I finally got some local musicians coming in to purchase a Cajon. These have been in process for a while as we had some delays in getting them finished. My schedule has loosened up so I have been trying to catch up. These guys are sweet! Check out the contrast on these babies!! Can't wait to hear them! Stay tuned.

Cheers everyone!!😉

06/27/2021

Just finished two more beautiful Cajon drums. Check out these colors! Can't wait to share this with the new owners, one here locally in Loveland, and the other in Florida. Stay tuned for the next project! Cheers everyone!

Many many thanks to all whom have served this great country of ours past, present and future. From those on the line to those at home. THANK YOU!! We appreciate all who have sacrificed for every single one of us.

Also, because of you I have the freedom to do what I love. It means the world to me. Thanks to all of our recent customers who have ordered these two new Cajon drums. You are all a blessing.

Lastly, thanks to those who have ordered signage and custom CNC work as well. So nice to see some business coming back. We almost lost it. You are all a blessing!!!🙏❤😉

Cheers everyone!!

Ok I know it has been forever since I have posted anything on our page but the fact that I lost all my business for the past year plus has a lot to do with it.

As of today I have only sold 3 drums this year and thankfully I am seeing more activity in the past 2 weeks than I have seen in the last 14 months.

Thankfully I have been getting some work on the cnc in the last week that has kept me busy. Check these out!! Yes they are earings designed by a talented young lady here in northern Colorado. I've always said I'll try anything.

Michelle has an amazing talent for art using wood and as you can see, her earings are super cool. If your interested look her up. You can check her products out on her website at www.ButterfliesandBanjos.com.

Hit me up if you need more information. These sell here at Scheels outdoor here in Johnstown and down in the Springs. She even has product in Estes Park.

She is amazing and I am so thankful for her new business here at the shop. More posts to come!! Activity is finally coming back. Cheers everyone!!

OK finally go this baby figured out!! Here is a Famous percussionist here by the alias name "Papa Doobie", slapping some tones on our new Cajon Trinote Slap Box for the first time. This was done for its final testing to see how it holds up. Papa Doobie, as many of you may know, is an amazing percussionist here in Colorado who has played with the best of them.

Thanks to him we ended up doing some final tweaking, one more clear coat and she's ready for our customer, Brent in Virginia. It was his idea to build this cool new attachment. Checkout Papa Doobies fast fingers on this baby and listen close to the 3 different tones. Let us know what you think!

This is meant to be attached to the side of a Cajon (or something), so playing it on the kitchen table is difficult because it isn't mounted. So allow for some movement please. Papa Doobie is fast and furious!

Thanks Papa Doobie, and Brent for making this happen! You are both awesome!!

Cheers Everyone!

02/28/2021

OK...yet another amazing looking Cajon!!😯🎵🥁🎶 This one has the largest variety of color I have seen since the first Cajon I built. Our customer Larry in New York is gonna love it!! Can't wait to hear it sing. Lots more to do before shes done but we're making progress!!

02/21/2021

Another productive day in the shop with another gorgeous Cajon and some new Cajon attachments for a very special repeat customer!

02/01/2021

Want to know more about our amazing Cajon drums?

Here is an interview that was filmed a few years ago at our shop in Colorado for a PBS TV show called "America's Forests" with Chuck Levell.

Chuck is the keyboard player for the Rolling Stones, but is also known for playing the Allman brothers, Eric Clapton, and many more. We were blessed to be a part of this show.

Chuck wanted to know about the uses of beetle kill pine for his show in Colorado. More specifically, instruments made of this beautiful wood. He and his Wife Rose Lane are tree farmers in Georgia as well so he is all about responsible utilization of our natural resources.

Thanks to Chuck, Wendy Woo, Christian Teele, Mark Diamond, Paul Preziosi and Brian McRae for joining us at the recording studio to record the session at the beginning of this video!!

Enjoy the show!

Cheers everyone!

Some of the most beautiful Cajon's made in Colorado out of Beetle kill from the rocky mountains. Now we are toying with attachments, and other percussion instruments!! Look us up if your interested right here on Facebook or at www.bouillezacoustics.com

While waiting for the second coat of clear to dry on this amazing Cajon today, we built a new product as an accessory to a Cajon. I call it a tri-tone block.

A return customer has been super patient in waiting for this cool block to be designed, (this is my third attempt). It provides 3 separate tones depending on what key you slap.

It can be Velcro'd to the side of any Cajon and place on either side depending on your taste. You can mount it vertically or horizontally. This is a first so Stay tuned!! Everyobe will have access to one soon!

This particular block will be attached to a washboard so a scew strip was added to one side for a solid mounting surface. Can't wait to get some feed back!

Cheers Everyone!!

01/30/2021

I just love to see the colors explode when I get the first coat of clear on these Cajon's or any beetle kill project!! Gorgeous! All the Tappa's are done, branded and cleared as well. A few more sandings and clear coats and these babies are ready to sing!!

Cheers everyone!!

01/25/2021

Hey Kenny!!! Here is your Cajon body...well at least one of these!! What a busy day!!! 5 cajons ready for clear coats and tappa's...check out the chocolate brown in this one Gen II !! I even got the snare assemblies in both of these.

Also working on new Kalimba, a foot clicker and a knock block for a return customer of ours...so excited to get these done as well. Looks like a busy week!! 45 hours in a 3 day weekend!!! I'm beat!😉🥁😴

01/24/2021

After a few months I finally got a few photos of a beautiful custom book shelf I built for a customer in Ft Collins last fall. This was an ambitious build and a one of a kind design but wow! Oh... and it has a secret compartment to hide money, import paperwork even multiple fi****ms... It turned out so amazing and we have a repeat customer!! Thank you to... you know who you are😉😉😁

01/24/2021

Finally got back in the shop after a long year of little business. Many thanks to those that did work with us in 2020!! This weekend has been non stop since Friday morning. Yeah!!!
