The Musician’s Dice are a creative tool that can be used in any number of ways: they bring the element of chance into the musical process. They can be used in composing Aleatory (Chance) and 12-tone music, or as a basis for improvisation; they’re fun in a jam session. They also make an effective study tool: they can be used as “musical flash cards” when learning harmony, and their randomness makes for fresh and challenging exercise in sight-singing and ear training. Created and patented by composer and recording artist J S Kingfisher, the Musician’s Dice make a great gift for the music-minded: they’re elegant, creative, fun to fondle, and look cool on the coffee table!

Patents do not exist.
I bought this product a while back and the packaging has changed to using somewhat cheaper materials. Curious I wanted to check out what patents this manufacturer claims he has on these dice as I was puzzled what could actually be patented, and guess what?The manufacturer claims 2 patents exist on this product, namely D5766875 and D5766885After having done a search at USPTO (US Patent Office) nothing came. After searching extensively with Google, nothing came up.Just be aware these claims are bogus. Shameful

Great idea! Design not so much
Great idea! I have a set of 3 dice from a game I got called "tonic", improvisational prompt cards. Those dice are beautiful and look great. These ones are OK - they have some weird writing on them which makes them hard to read and are waaaay bigger than necessary. Not easy to carry around in a backpack.I'd look for another supplier with smaller, better looking/clearly written dice if they have them. Love the concept!

Nice quality, great idea
I purchased these for a musician friend as a stocking stuffer gift. Since he writes music, I thought he would enjoy rolling the dice and seeing if any of the combinations inspired him. Everyone gets writers block, right? He also performs worship at church and often brings them along to jam with other musicians between sets. They seem to enjoy but the novelty certainly wore off quickly.

Great quality, great gift.
Bought these as a gift for my husband, he is guitar player and a gamer. So these looked like a great gift for him. I was rite, he really likes them and started to use them as soon as he got them. I keep hearing him say "these are great". They came nicely packaged in a giftable box, Dice bag included. They are good quality too.

These, are, AMAZING!
You gotta read the title with the right intonation for it to come through correctly.I love these! Wonderful idea, and useful for practice and exploration. They were a bit larger than expected, but not too much so. Good quality too.Fun, useful (hopefully I don't sound like an advertiser) buy it!

A Tool to Help You Work Outside of Yourself
The Musician's Dice is an amazing tool to help remove yourself from your composition habits.There are certain chord progressions I find comforting to my soul. I think everyone comes across certain progressions that really resonate with them. The only problem with that is that it can feel dissonant to breach your comfort zone and inhibit the notion of exploring new options if you hold on too tightly to them. With these dice, I'm able to let the luck of the roll construct either my melody or chords - therefore forcing me to solve the problem of bridging sounds together. By solving problems that lie outside of comfort zone, you learn to dissociate yourself from habitual patterns and find resonance within even the most dissonant chords / melodies / chord progressions.

Great gift for a musician!
Bought these as a Christmas gift for my sister. They were back-ordered at the time so I knew they would be late, but that didn't even matter because she says they were worth the wait! She loves them so much!

HE LOVED THEM! Immediately got his guitar out and started ...
Got this for my friend who I play DnD with (dice rolling) and who's an aspiring musician/DJ. HE LOVED THEM! Immediately got his guitar out and started rolling 4 dice to see the combos and LOVED IT! Highly recommend for a gift for any musician. Just helps them break out of a rut/shell/musician's block and get out of their comfort zone.
