 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.

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.

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.

 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.
