Pea Patch Minstrel style Rosewood Rhythm Bones 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 ROSEWOOD: Rosewood is a strong heavy wood that often features an extraordinary appealing grain. Its density and excellent resonance enable you to deliver a loud, sharp tone that most other woods cannot match. The wood of choice for Mister Bones during the Minstrel era was ebony. But rosewood was also prominent. That's why vintage rosewood bones continually surface in antique shops. In 1897 you could buy a set of four 7" rosewood bones for 20 cents in the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog. Living history performers will want to choose rosewood for its historical significance as well as the powerful sharp tone outdoor spectators can hear above the crowd. HISTORICALLY ACCURATE DESIGN: The most popular woods during the American Minstrel Era were ebony and rosewood. Now you can treat yourself to rare budget-priced rhythm bones made from exotic Rosewood. The design is patterned after vintage Percy Danforth minstrel style bones made by the late master woodcrafter, Ray Schairer (1922 - 2011). WHY CHOOSE THESE BONES: If you want historically accurate minstrel style bones that are brawny and powerful, ideal for medium or large hands, professionally handcrafted one at a time from exotic hardwood and yours at a budget price, then Wide Pea Patch Minstrel-style Rosewood Bones are for you.
