Exactly what I expected and super speedy service. Thank you!
I recently purchased a Donkey Jaw Bone Rattle from Lark in the Morning, and I’m impressed with both the product and the service. The rattle itself is a unique and authentic percussion instrument, showcasing great craftsmanship and producing a resonant, snappy sound perfect for traditional music or unique soundscapes.
The ordering process was smooth, and the website provided clear descriptions and photos, which made it easy to understand what I was buying. Shipping was prompt, and the rattle arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition.
If you’re looking for distinctive and high-quality folk instruments, Lark in the Morning is a great resource. I’m very satisfied and will likely shop with them again.

This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
