Description
Your idea
Now that Cajón has been introduced in #27887 last year, can it please get various pitches so some of the versatility of this instrument can be covered in scores?
Problem to be solved
Cajón was introduced in #27887 as a single pitch instrument but in practice it is used as a multi-pitch one. Despite not having exact pitch, a solution similar to Congas would be a great step forward (for now I keep using the Congas as alternative since before the Cajón introduction it sufficed my needs well enough).
In the future pitching could also be used for other instruments like Bodhrán.
