About Pea Patch Minstrel-style Laminated
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 BOXWOOD, EBONY AND PADAUK: New-fangled minstrel style boxwood and padauk bones jazz up any tune. Innovative laminated "duo-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. It is one of the world's hardest woods. Ebony is a dense resonant wood that delivers a strong sharp tone. BOXWOOD (beige) is a hard, close-grained and heavy 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). WHY CHOOSE THESE BONES: Living history musicians who perform at Minstrel era and Civil War gigs should choose Pea Patch Minstrel-style Bones for their historically accurate design. You will also appreciate the sharp powerful tone that cuts through the clamor of festival crowds - and so will curious onlookers! So if you want historically accurate yet "new-fangled" minstrel style bones that are excellent for small, medium or large hands, professionally handcrafted one at a time from exotic hardwoods and yours at a budget price, then Regular Pea Patch Minstrel-style Laminated Bones are for you.
