Size:Wide TRADITIONAL MINSTREL DESIGN, EXOTIC WOODS...PLAIN PRICE. Pea Patch Minstrel Style Bones are perfect for thrifty living-history minstrel band performers, Civil War reenactors or any bones connoisseur on a budget. SOLID EBONY, BOXWOOD, AND PADAUK: New-fangled minstrel style bones jazz up any tune. Innovative laminated "tri-tone" design lets you vary the tone depending how you align the woods. EBONY (black) was the wood of choice for Mister Bones during the minstrel era. One of the world's hardest woods, ebony delivers a strong powerful sharp tone. BOXWOOD (beige) is a hard, heavy, close-grained exotic evergreen native to England and Turkey that delivers a strong sharp tone. PADAUK [pah-DOWK] is a very durable exotic wood prized for its brilliant salmon color. It delivers a highly resonant medium 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 woods. They're patterned after vintage Percy Danforth Minstrel Style Bones made by the late master woodcrafter, Ray Schairer (1922 - 2011).
