Percy Danforth started playing the bones in 1908 when he was eight years old. He was the master of two-handed bones playing. Percy says, "Playing the bones with one hand isn't playing. It's just rattling the bones." This is the definitive work on playing the bones! Learn to Play, The History of the Bones, The Life and Times of Percy Danforth, Lots of Great Music with Percy and some of Mendocino's finest musicians. Learn all Percy's secrets, alignment, tone, subtlety, and how to hold the bones. There are examples of rolls, taps, triplets, flams, syncopated rhythms, different time signatures, and segments using slow motion video. Included are lots of examples with live (and very lively) music. You need 2 pair of bones to get the most out of this video.

The external Twin Spot works great on my Irish Bouzouki. I've scotched taped the pickup heads and wires it in place for easy adjustment, and the pick up sensitivity is very good. I'm running it through my guitar DI box for increased sensitivity and tone control.
I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
