When Bone Dry Music received a whole new batch of whole sun-bleached ox rib bones== a couple of weeks ago I decided to completely ignored the fact that monetary resources are low and order a few, after all a choice of good rhythm bones will get you through hard times a lot better than uh, well, many other things I’m sure…

About a year ago Dave bought a cheap Chinese resonator guitar and decided that it needed a better cone. So he ordered one but it was a bit too big for the guitar’s hole. Having taken a look at it I told him that I could make the hole bigger and so he brought it over to my workshop and we (I) ended up adding two sound holes, since he received two with the cone, remaking the bridge and sticking in a pickup between the cone and the neck.
After all that the guitar sounded definitely better, which was nice, but unfortunately has an annoying hum when amplified.

These days however, it’s not like you can easily find it at your local record shop which is unfortunate but not surprising… So much great music from the past is lost in today’s consumers society.

Just as it looked like the Spring was getting closer wouldn’t you know that the temperature would drop again, flirt with the -6° to -12° C (21° – 10°F), encouraging all the show that fell on Saturday to stay put and freeze up the town some more instead of politely melting away like I wish it would.
Sunday woke with the sun, not of the let’s melt all that snow kind but unfortunately closer to: “the sun is shinning, don’t forget your sunglasses it’s really bright out, hey it’s freezing! Where did you put my gloves?” kind. Brrrr…

I was trying to make sense of the Wood Rhythm Bones Home Made page, have somewhat edited it as well as finally figured out how to allow comments there too.
Then to make this post a bit more entertaining I checked to see if any new Rhythm Bone videos had been added over at YouTube and sure enough, along with some new videos presenting rhythm bones made with different materials and how they sound by “bonedrymusic” (check these out if you haven’t yet, and even so: it’s a growing collection), was this excerpt from a Bones Instructional Video by “bonesmanplunkett” which I’m happy to have bought last fall and recommend wholeheartedly.
