If authenticity is what you require, than the Donkey Jaw Bone Rattle is just the thing for you. Also called a quijada, it has a sound unlike any other rattle you've ever heard! As these are natural, sizes will vary. Generally, overall length is approximately 16 inches, with an average width of 7 inches. Played by striking the upper part of the jaw with the back heel of your hand while holding the end of the jaw.

Exactly what I expected and super speedy service. Thank you!
I recently purchased a Donkey Jaw Bone Rattle from Lark in the Morning, and I’m impressed with both the product and the service. The rattle itself is a unique and authentic percussion instrument, showcasing great craftsmanship and producing a resonant, snappy sound perfect for traditional music or unique soundscapes.
The ordering process was smooth, and the website provided clear descriptions and photos, which made it easy to understand what I was buying. Shipping was prompt, and the rattle arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition.
If you’re looking for distinctive and high-quality folk instruments, Lark in the Morning is a great resource. I’m very satisfied and will likely shop with them again.

When I first saw the goatskin, I wasn’t sure if it was what I was looking for but I tried it out, it’s pretty much perfect, I make traditional Yupik drums that come from southwest Alaska, in my language, the Yugtun, language we call out drums a cauyaq, and the drum head is traditionally a stomach membrane of a walrus or seal. As someone who lives in modern age, we have contemporary styles and goatskin is one of our contemporary style. For this application it works great.
I read about sistrums in a fantasy adventure book and had to have one! Lark listed one I could afford that combines old crafting techniques with bottle caps! The delivery was quick. I played around with it and was surprised at all the different chimes and riffs it could make. Right now it is displayed with my also-African-made soda can lion. I'm happy!
Nice sound
This was my first ever Hardanger, so I basically wanted a "Squier" version of a Hardanger: an entry level Hardanger to learn on that was new and solid but wouldn't break the bank. This has been pretty much perfect and just what I wanted.I love playing it.
Beautiful amazing instrument! Easy and fun to play! Highly recommended! Great customer service and fast shipping!!
