Joe Birl Solid Maple Musical Rhythm Bones

GREAT FOR BEGINNING PLAYERS! Joe Birl Bones feature a patented groove that makes them easy to grip and prevents them from slipping. So if you ever wanted to try "rattlin' the bones," then this is an excellent choice to get yourself started. GENUINE JOE BIRL RHYTHM BONES: Designed by the late legendary Joe Birl. Joe was famous among bones players for these easy-to-grip minstrel-style bones with a handy finger notch. COMFORTABLE GRIP: Joe Birl loved rattlin' the bones. But he didn't like how rattling the bones made his fingers hurt. That's why he came up for the idea of a finger notch. The notch makes the bones more comfortable to hold (and also keeps the bones from slipping out of your hand). PATENTED GROOVES KEEP YOUR FINGERS IN PLACE: Three claims were awarded by the U.S. Patent Office in 1948 (patent no. 2436283). As one customer puts it, "The Birl notch is like training wheels for the bones." And that describes them perfectly. WHY CHOOSE THESE BONES: If you are new to the ancient art of musical bones playing (or if you want the perfect bones to help a favorite new player get started), and if you want a pair of well-made quality bones, and if you want them at a budget price, then Joe Birl's Solid Maple Rhythm Bones are right for you. Welcome to the ancient art of rattlin' the bones! TECHNICAL SPECS: Length: 7-3/8" (18.73 cm), Width: 1" (2.54 cm), Thickness: 3/8" (.953 cm)
