What Are Irish Percussion Bones?
Also known as rhythm bones, these handheld percussion instruments have been used in traditional folk music for centuries. Originally made from animal bones, modern rhythm bones are most often crafted from wood, offering greater consistency and durability.
The Irish playing style is unique, favoring a single-handed technique that produces a range of intricate rhythms. Whether used for fast reels, slow jigs, or syncopated dance beats, rhythm bones add a dynamic, percussive layer to Irish music.
