Good feel and workability of natural bone

Benjamin I. 23.05.2016

Hard as stone, resists the saw very well when you cut it, and because it is dense and fine-grained, it polishes well. Made an inlay for my Kremona classical guitar, looks good because the bone's beige tone matches the light brown cedar pretty well. Sound is as good as usual with bone. The original inlay on my Kremona sounded good, by the way, and was extremely rigid for a synthetic material, but rather brittle.

I sculpt a sloped inlay for general intonation, then I make very small, very shallow grooves with a miniature round file under the strings that sound too harsh, to lower them a bit until the attack is both punchy and woody. Depending on how you angle the file you can make the string a little longer on the inlay to perfect intonation.

The bone exsudes oil when you handle it (makes it easier to polish), but the oil will evaporate and leave the bone dry with a more sparkly attack.

Great update for guitar or ukulele

CSF 02.04.2018

I used two of these bone blanks for updating a guitar and an ukulele. Both of the instruments had plastic saddles and this simple bone replacement improved the tone. Especially on the guitar, but even on the ukulele I could hear and measure the difference between the plastic and bone saddles.

Nice bridge

Anonymous 21.09.2015

Will use it on my classical Takamine:)
Seems that the quality is nice and the material is dense.
If you want to replace your bridge pick this inlay. Price is nice and material seems very good.
