They feature a patented groove that makes them easier to grip and prevents them from slipping.

After all, these are the bones with Joe's patented "easy grip" grooves. Well, my first set was a pair of Joe Birl bones–and I eventually developed into a skilled player. No, I do not play them much anymore. But my good friend Spike Bones is an expert player who absolutely adores them.<br>Why Choose these Bones?<br>If you are new to the ancient art of musical bones playing (or if you want the perfect bones to help a favorite new player get started); and if you want a pair of well-made quality bones; and if you want them at a budget price; then Joe Birl's Wooden Rhythm Bones are just right for you.<br>Spike Bones demonstrates Joe Birl Wooden Rhythm Bones<br>Bones Fest XII: Playing the Bones - YouTube<br>Video will open in a new window<br>Watch Spike Bones play his Joe Birl Rhythm Bones in this 2008 promotional video for Bones Fest XII in Saint Louis, Missouri.
