SOLID BOXWOOD, EBONY, 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. BOXWOOD (beige) is a hard, heavy, close-grained 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. One of the world's hardest woods, ebony delivers a strong powerful 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).
