Rhythm Bones!!!

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/d/18d223483d915833efdd5157bdf6d26adf4124e4.jpeg "Rhythm Bones") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fldvd0k6JVw)

Musicians lump these in with ‘toy’ instruments, but they require much more skill than the clapping hands on a stick, and are more versatile than castanets, kartal, claves, etc. Multiple setups available using 1 or 2 hands, different grips, different number of bones per hand.

After yoyos this is my second favourite skill toy and then there’s a sharp dropoff.
