PROFESSIONAL DESIGN, EXOTIC WOOD...PLAIN PRICE. Pea Patch Musical Spoons are perfect for thrifty Jug band musicians, Irish session players, old-time musicians, or any musical spoons connoisseur on a budget. REAL MUSICAL SPOONS: Yes, these are REAL musical spoons. Unlike joined "cheater spoons" that anyone can play with no skill, the satisfaction of mastering real spoons is well worth the effort. And unlike wooden kitchen spoons with ungainly round handles that are nearly impossible to grasp, Pea Patch wooden musical spoons feature a functionally designed handle that offers you a firm grip, precise handling, and greater control. SOLID MAHOGANY: Mahogany is a durable lightweight exotic wood that delivers a soft dull tone. Mahogany varies considerably in color and matures into a deep rich red or brown color with age. Exposure to strong sunlight may cause fading. The wide variability in color has enabled many look-alike species to be marketed as mahogany. Swirl and crotch figures are also common. Irregularities in the grain often produce highly attractive fiddleback, blister, stripe, and mottled figures. FREE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET: Each order includes a free copy of our 8-page step-by-step instruction booklet, "How to Play Real Spoons." RECOMMENDED FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS ONLY: Experienced players will appreciate mini wooden spoons for their sub-compact design and the subtle soft tone they add to your percussive tool kit. Their teeny size makes them a special challenge to play, though. New players should choose a larger size to learn on.
