Peter Harper

From small, crowded bars to Glastonbury’s massive stages, my Sela cajon and accessories have never let me down. The dynamic splash face allows me to express myself in any live situation, and the Casela Pro always gets the crowd moving. Whether I’m flying or traveling, I can rely on my heavy-duty gig bag to protect my cajon, and my Tic Tac adds extra texture to my sound. My Sela cajon has been with me all over the world, and I look forward to many more adventures together
