I "rattle" rhythm bones. Some are made from wood, but my favorite ones I 
made myself from Sun-bleach (old) Ox ribs. I mostly use one hand, but 
when I really want to make a racket, I use both hands. On occasion I 
play harp with one hand and rattle with the other. Something you don't 
see every day.

I also play jaw harps (the good ones tuned to specific keys). Not so 
unusual but I also love to whistle any time, any place. Sometimes it 
gets me in trouble...   :-D

Love that old-time music and associated instruments!  (Of course 
diatonic harmonicas are definitely my "first" choice.)
