Welcome to the only store on the planet where you can get unique half-round bones at deeply discounted prices in rare exotic woods and 3 standard widths—
Narrow

Regular half-round bones are a moderate 1-1/8" (2.9 cm) in width. The traditional design is perfect for most hand sizes and the shape delivers a superior dynamic tonal range.
Wide
Wide half-round bones are a broad 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) in width. The brawny shape provides substantial heft and creates a powerful presence. They feel quite stout and burly.
Here's What You Get:

Story
Rosewood
is a rare exotic heavy dense wood that delivers a high sharp tone.
It varies in color from shades of brown to red or chocolate to violet, and is irregularly streaked with black. The grain is typically straight, but occasionally wavy. Its texture is medium to rather coarse and the wood has large pores that are quite irregular in size and position. The surface is slightly oily or waxy in appearance, somewhat gritty to the touch, and very resistant to decay and insect attack.
When cut, rosewood releases a fragrant aroma similar to roses. The fragrance has also been reported when the wood is burned (but you are wise not to mention this aspect to your detractors). Rosewood has a distinctive taste, I am told - and I will just take their word for it.
None of the charts I found rated rosewood with a specific gravity greater than 1.0. This surprised me as rosewood is a very hard and dense wood. So I tossed several pairs of these Rosewood Minstrel-style Bones into a tub of water to see what happens. As I expected, the darker, denser pairs sunk. But the lighter color pairs floated. So some pairs will have a specific gravity greater than 1.0, but the specific gravity of some pairs will be less.

Half-Price Closeout Sale!
No minimum quantity required. Order as few or as many as you want.
UNIQUE HALF-ROUND DESIGN. EXOTIC WOODS. FUN AND EASY TO PLAY. DEEPLY DISCOUNTED CLOSEOUT PRICE: If you ever wanted multiple sets of fine handcrafted professional quality bones, then here's your chance to snatch pairs made from exotic woods at a deeply discounted closeout price.
Deeply Discounted Closeout Price
The price of these premium-quality Half-Round Bones should be the same as our top-of-the-line Pea Patch Minstrel Style Bones. Here's your chance to grab them at HALF PRICE.
Why Is The Price So Low?
These bones were custom made for us. But the striking face was supposed to be absolutely flat. Instead, the striking face is slightly round. There is nothing wrong with a rounded striking face. In fact, most musical bones sport a rounded striking face. But the striking face is supposed to be absolutely flat and it is not. That's why we slashed the price—to clear them out quickly.
Why Choose These Bones?
If you want uniquely styled half-round bones that are slim and trim and easy to grip; available in three popular widths; fun and easy to play; professionally handcrafted one at a time from exotic hardwood and yours at a deeply discounted closeout price, then these superior-quality Half-Round Bones are for you.
Three Standard Widths:
Narrow
Narrow Half-Round Bones are just 1" (2.5 cm) in width. The slim width makes them relatively light in weight and easy to grip. These bones are perfect for smaller hands or players who prefer narrow instruments.
Regular
Regular Half-Round Bones are a moderate 1-1/8" (2.9 cm) in width. The traditional design is perfect for most hand sizes and the shape delivers a superior dynamic tonal range.
Wide
Wide Half-Round Bones are a broad 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) in width. The brawny shape provides substantial heft and creates a powerful presence. They feel quite stout and burly.
Order Now...While They Last
