	Patent 4127053
		After the jawbone is dried, the teeth become loose, so that when the musician holds the entire jawbone by the chin in one hand, and strikes the cheek with the other, the teeth will rattle within the hollow chamber of the jaw, to produce a percussion-like sound.
		One of the disadvantages of using a jawbone to produce a percussion sound is the inherent weakness at its chin portion.
		In a preferred embodiment, the sound chamber has an externally-threaded bore extending therethrough, to the cavity thereof, generally opposite the "at least one" opening thereof, and the inner end portion of the vibratory rod is externally threaded and receivable within the threaded bore of the chamber, to effect securement of the rod to the chamber.

	Jaw Cavitations, cavitational disease
		This is a somewhat perturbing state of affairs, for the jawbone cavitation is not a new disease.
		Jawbone infarctions were spoken of by Dr. Fischer more than half a century ago.
		The aware dentist has long been in need of a reliable instrument for clearly and safely imaging jawbone cavitations; ideally an instrument that could be used “in house.” Such an instrument is now available, due to the unflagging efforts of Bob Jones.

	The Kantele — Finland's national instrument — Virtual Finland
		The instrument was tuned to a diatonic scale between its bass and top notes which could, depending on the tuning of the central string, be either major or minor.
		In this case, the instrument was held with the sounding board vertical, not horizontal as traditionally.
		With the new instruments and instrumental styles, the music, too, changed, and in the second half of the 19th century contemporary dance music was generally played in those few places where the kantele had survived as a folk instrument.

	Cavitations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This was also described in 1915 by G.V. Black as a progressive disease of the jawbone which kills bone cells and produces large hollowed out areas of bony tissue or a soft mass enclosing particles of necrotic (dead) bone.
		He was intrigued by the unique ability of this disease to produce extensive jawbone destruction without causing redness, swelling of the overlying tissues or increasing the patient's body temperature.
		It is possible that a biofilm form of the bacteria, which is antibiotic resistant, adheres to the inside of the capillary walls and its toxins and by-products, combining with other cellular material, are responsible for the infarct producing clots.

		Wind instruments use a vibrating air column whose dimensions can be altered; but the material density of the air is a constant (with small allowances for temperature and humidity).
		Mouth cavity instruments are unique in the ability to rapidly and accurately match various harmonics of the drone with a tuned resonance chamber.
		This is why I think the jawbone affects the pitch of the steel harp which, unlike the bamboo, is in contact with the teeth.

		Treatment of choice for jawbone cavitations is surgical removal of the necrotic and infected bone, for in the presence of such bone, the conditions that created the infection remain, and blood supply continues to be impaired.
		Jawbone cavitations can also be imaged through CT scan, when a spiral scan is taken from about the middle of the sinus to the bottom of the mandible.
		(The chronically sensitive tooth often is an indication of the presence of jawbone necrosis beneath it) If he or she insists upon its extraction (usually against the advice of the dentist) and manages to talk his/her dentist into removing it, that dentist is counseled to carefully examine the extracted tooth.

	Patent 4050157
		This invention relates to the permanent anchoring of dental attachments to the jawbone of a patient by use of a metallic implant.
		A stabilizer formation is connected to the edge portion of the implant base from which the shank projects and extends in substantially parallel spaced relation to the relatively planar base in overlying alignment with the rectangular opening.
		The crown 22 may be made of porcelain or acrylic and form part of a fixed bridge that is permanently anchored to the jawbone by means of the implant body 10.

		However, the instrument made a decisive comeback in the early 1980s, with the eventual introduction of the five-string kantele as a school instrument.
		The instruments were made of whatever material was available: bone, horn, wood, birch bark or even reeds.
		Even in Finland, it was an instrument for the poor, and for beggars, tramps and children.

	Patent 4389916
		The present invention refers to a support for string instruments belonging to the violin family which, when played upon, are kept in position between the jaw bone and the collar bone, suitably with the aid of an anatomically well shaped chin-rest with a suitable protuberance.
		Analysis of the anatomic functions when playing the violin as well as the mounting possibilities on the instrument have shown that only certain parts of the player's body as well as of the violin may be used to attach the support.
		The violinist can thus be able to hold the instrument between the jawbone and the collarbone with an almost normal position of neck and head simultaneously, with minor disturbances affecting the vibrating instrument by attaching the support to its least vibrating spot with minimal contact surfaces.

		The kantele is the Finnish version of an instrument known throughout the world as either a zither or lap harp.
		The kantele - a plucked stringed instrument of the worldwide zither family - is a traditional folk music instrument that has been played in Finland and other Baltic countries since pre-historic times (see also the Ancient Lithuanian Kanklës website with drawings of kanteles and other Baltic Psalteries).
		The first one he built was made of the jawbone of a giant fish and the strings were made from the long hair that young Finnish women willingly gave to him.

		This process was also described in 1915 by G.V. Black as a progressive disease of the jawbone which kills the bone cells and produces large hollowed out areas of bony tissue or a soft mass enclosing particles of necrotic (dead) bone.
		is one in which the progressive impairment of blood supply to the marrow of the bone essentially produces small "heart attacks" (infarcts) in the jawbone, thus resulting in osteonecrosis (bone death).
		In the last decade, the term "cavitation" has been used not only to describe lesions appearing as empty holes, but also various types of lesions in the jawbone, found through tissue analysis to be ischemic (lacking in oxygen), necrotic (dead), osteomyelitic (bone infected) and toxic.

	BBC - Huw Stephens - Jawbone
		This week's session, recorded live at SXSW festival in Texas, is the sound of one man sat behind a drum-kit, alternating between blues guitar, harmonica and raucous holler.
		Hailing from Detroit, Jawbone has straddled the genres of blues and country for several years.
		Peelie bestowed the prestigious accolade 'album of the year' on Jawbone's debut 'Dang Blues.' Released in 2004, 'Dang Blues' was self-recorded live in Jawbone's basement studio (aka Litterbox), a simple set-up whereby Jawbone set the levels, strapped on a guitar, hooked up a harp, sat back behind the bass drum and let rip.

	Dental Help \| What is a Cavitation
		Where focal infection is concerned, the chief initiating factor appears to be trauma to the jawbone.
		Surgical removal of the dead (necrotic) bone is an essential component in eradication of the oral focus and a necessary condition for healing to occur.
		Based on my experience, and given the prevalence of jawbone cavitations, I believe a CAVITAT scan should be a standard part of every routine dental exam or every annual physical exam due to the systemic problems that can stem from these cavitations.

		The chin rest is less of a factor in securing the instrument than the shoulder rest, but it should be comfortable and not slip.
		Be sure to cut the foam to the required shape, for you may or may not need a wedge-shaped pad to maintain the correct tilt of your instrument.
		If everything has turned out well, you should now be able to fully support your instrument exactly at the height and tilt you like with a dropped, tension-free shoulder and a neck fully and naturally lengthened.
