Description
Size:Wide TRADITIONAL MINSTREL DESIGN, EXOTIC WOOD...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 TAMARIND: Originally native to East Africa and Madagascar, tamarind is a very durable exotic hardwood that delivers a powerful resonant tone similar to rosewood. Grown extensively in India, tamarind is best known for its edible fruit. Tamarind is an especially hard and heavy wood that offers excellent acoustical properties for musical instruments. Players who have never tried tamarind before will find this uniquely tough and gorgeous wood a gem. RATIO OF HEARTWOOD TO SAPWOOD VARIES: The light hued sapwood adds attractive color, but is slightly less dense than heartwood. Experienced players appreciate that most pairs are solid heartwood with little or no sapwood. ALTERNATIVE TO ROSEWOOD: Tamarind is an alternative to rosewood, but tough like ebony and highly prized for wheels, axles, gears - and now, musical bones! 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 tamarind. 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 are a living history musician who wants historically accurate minstrel style bones that deliver a sharp powerful tone that cuts through the clamor of festival crowds; 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 Tamarind Bones are for you.
