Did you all see the report on ancient artifacts from siberia? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3855039/ The "scientists" are guessing what the bones were used for....
Hi Jeff, I've just been looking at your splendid gallery of photos and wondered how you made the beef rib bones. Are they both from the same rib? What part(s)...
... Pretty simple. I went to a butcher, and asked him for the largest, longest uncut ribs they had. I played a little for him so he could see why I wanted...
Ten or so years ago I did pretty much the same thing as Jeff. In my case, however, the butcher said to check back with him in a week or two and he would sell...
Yorkie If you can't find ribs to make bones out of I have several pairs available for sale out of a cow skeleton I found in a field in Virginia about 7 years ...

Don't forget bison bones. There are many bison farms now, and I actually met a kid at the NOMAD festival who was playing bison ribs. Just as thick as beef. And...

This is just to let everyone know that there's been a big old update to the website, http://www.rhythmbones.com Among other things, I've entered sixty-one (61)...
When I was playing a while back, a guy told me that there was a folk instrument like bones in Switzerland, where he was from, called "chlefeli." I had him...
Jeff, I'm very excited that you found these sites, too! I've been corresponding with several Chlefeli and Klepperle players (Klepperle is the same traditional...
Well, actually, now that I'm looking a little more closely, I see that the www.klepperle.de site and and the www.klepperle-narro.de site are *both* in the town...
The sad thing is, that while I meant this announcement to be useful to all of us, I neglected to actually include the dates for the Bones Fest!! And nobody...
Vash recently put some nice pictures of his bones (and spoons) on the photos page of the mailing list site. And never said a word! To see these, go to...
Sorry John I didn;t mean to be sneaky, just wasn;t sure that everyone'd be interested in my pics :) As to gigs and whatnot, sadly, The Bringers aren;t together...
Hey, as some of you know I'm also a member of the Bodhranii online community, and one of the things that they do is open their YAHOO! chatroom once a week for...
Hey Vash, I would defer to Jon on this, but realize we are not nearly as active as the bodhran group. I'm certainly up for it, but not on a weekly basis, I...
Like many of you I'm sure, I sometimes have to endure people calling what I'm playing "spoons" when I'm actually playing bones. They can sound similar, and do...
Excellent spoon instruction site. Thanks for putting that together. Its inspiring. I think I'll give it a try, the spoons, and the web site stuff. Mike...
I can also play spoons but haven't for years - unless someone has some at a festival or somewhere we are performing. I love the website on spoons - look ...

Your website is most interesting, but as with most things, everybody's got his/her own way of playing. I would caution on the use of words like "must" and ...

Spoons: This whole discussion of Spoons is pretty interesting (and would also be well received on the folk-percussion yahoo list, if any of you are also part...
