SOLID BOXWOOD AND EBONY: New-fangled minstrel style boxwood and padauk bones jazz up any tune. Innovative laminated "duo-tone" design lets you vary the tone depending how you align the woods. BOXWOOD (beige) is a hard, close-grained and heavy exotic evergreen native to England and Turkey that delivers a strong sharp tone. EBONY (black) was the wood of choice for Mister Bones during the minstrel era. It is one of the world's hardest woods. Ebony is a dense resonant wood that delivers a strong powerful sharp tone. HISTORICALLY ACCURATE DESIGN: The most popular woods during the American Minstrel Era were Ebony and Rosewood. Some folks made their own bones from local hardwoods. Now you can treat yourself to rare budget-priced rhythm bones made from exotic laminated Boxwood and Ebony.
