whoops sorry about that.

I don't know much about spoons but....my dad Len Davies was well known on the English festival scene for playing and teaching the bones.

He did own some bone bones but most of his sets were made of tone woods like Siamese rosewood. His own research into the history of bones revealed that the instrument was first played in Egypt. Egyptian vases dated 2000 BC depict women playing the bones and the British Museoun has some early bones (or clappers) in their Egyptian section. While bones are popular in Ireland they probably didn't originate there.
