Originally made of animal bones like ribs, "the bones" are a percussive folk instrument with a long history all over the world, from ancient Greece to American zydeco. In this class you will make your own pair of bones and learn how to play them!
This is an easy and fun way to learn an instrument, as well as try your hand at woodworking. Students will learn how to hand-sand, decorate, polish, and finish your own oak, maple, pine, and walnut bones, and after the finishing oil has dried, learn how to move your wrist to achieve the perfect "click-it-y" sound.
