Pancrace is a quintet from France comprising Prune Bécheau, Arden Day, Julien Desailly, Léo Maurel, and Jan Vysocky. Pancrace began with a residence in 2015 at the Saint Pancrace church in Dangolsheim where the instrument inventor Léo Maurel resides. Pancrace's debut self-titled double-LP was released by Penultimate Press in 2017 and ended up on The Wire's best releases of that year. After the first record and subsequent tour the band were despondent that the main character of their story, the church organ, was not there. A series of meetings and chance encounters resulted in the band developing their own organ which they named "Organous". The approach of Pancrace is based on the physicality of sound, a choice of specific tone qualities within a given spatial contextual awareness. Therefore, the manufacturing and usage of the musical instrument are constantly reassessed. Consequently, playing with the mechanical aspect of the instruments is central to their musical approach and narrative. Designing an unbound pipe organ - though emulating some of the mechanical idiomatics of the initial Pancrace church organ - seemed the obvious way to gain more spatial control over a vast choice of places. This allowed them to approach their music from a totally new angle and work from within the organ. The results of these experiments are captured here, on their second opus, The Fluid Hammer. This new beast of an instrument, somewhere between a spider or an octopus, led Pancrace to compose from the frontality of the instrument as well as with the interactive tone possibilities brought by other instruments. With it's six panels display (two bass registers, two treble, and a pair of crumhorns) the organ projects sound like the musique concrèt Acousmonium giving the listener a spatialized perception of a wide range of tones and harmonics. Fluid Hammer is the result of the research and experiments undertaken with the Organous and other instruments. Fluid Hammer is a more rhythmic and percussive affair than it's predecessor, bringing to mind the experiments of Conlon Nancarrow as well as fairground barrel organs. The wide range of polyrhythmic patterns generates a constant tension between the machine and the human play. Music for Organous (spatialized and MIDI-controlled pipe organ), Uilleann pipes, Pi-synth, piano, motorised bow, boîte à bourdons, gaida, Baroque violin, hurgy toys, toy piano, componium, bodhran, low whistle, bird calls, AM radio, and shaker.

Love These Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
These are great balls. My Border Collie can destroy a tennis ball in a couple of hours and the Kong brand ball is heavier than I like to play with in the house. These balls hold up to her biting and chewing but are lite weight and softer for bouncing off the walls.

Seems durable - but the scent is not the best
Color: B) 3" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I don't know if I'd call the scent of this "bacon," more like rubber with a hint of bacon. It's very strong. I gave my dog one of the balls & put one in a cabinet where I keep his treats & a few other unrelated odds & ends. I now hold my breath when I open that cabinet b/c good lord, the smell. I'm tempted to just give that one to the dog too, just because it'll air out eventually & then everything else in that cabinet won't smell bad.
My dog feels so-so about it. He'll briefly chase after it & chew on it, but loses interest in it pretty fast. My rather hyperactive cat also plays with it from time to time, as he seems to have more interest in most dog toys than the dog these days, so there's that. (Then again, he thinks a wide variety of random items around the house are loads of fun to toss about, so it's possible his opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt. Between the brief periods of one of these balls being chewed on & clawed at, it's stayed completely intact. I think if you have a dog who simply likes to play fetch or chew on rubber balls in general, this one would stand up to the task. But if you're expecting it to be greeted with the enthusiasm as a bacon grease covered ball might be - I'd adjust your expectations.

My dogs favorite toy so far in two years
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I use this with my medium sized dog. These are large for him but that's what I want so I don't ever have to think about them being too small or a swallow hazard. He has been through A LOT OF TOYS in the last couple years, but nothing, NOTHING has he loved as much as these.
His favorite used to be squeaker balls. Then his favorite was crackle balls. But he will gladly ignore both for this one. I don't know if it's the bacon flavor or what, but he go nuts for it.

Durable Rubber Bone Toy for Aggressive Chewers
I got this rubber bone chew toy in purple (size large) for my dog, and it's been a solid addition to his toy rotation.
What I Liked:
The bacon flavor is a huge hit. My dog was immediately interested in this toy and goes back to it regularly, which speaks to how appealing the scent is to him. The natural rubber material is tough and has held up well to his aggressive chewing - it's designed for heavy chewers and delivers on that promise. The textured surface is great for dental health. I can see how it helps clean his teeth as he chews, and the grooves are deep enough that you could add dog toothpaste for extra cleaning power. It's a functional toy that serves multiple purposes beyond just entertainment.
The rubber material is softer than hard nylon toys, which gives me peace of mind that it won't damage his teeth during extended chewing sessions. It's still plenty durable but has some give to it that makes it safer. This toy genuinely keeps him busy and engaged. It helps redirect his chewing instincts away from furniture and other household items, and it seems to help with anxiety when I need to leave him alone for a bit. At $8.99 (down from $15.99), this is an excellent value for a durable, functional chew toy.
What Could Be Improved:
While it's marketed for all sizes from small to large breeds, I think it works best for medium to large dogs. Small dogs might find the large size a bit cumbersome. The bacon scent is strong initially, but it will fade over time with use and cleaning. Also, we all know it's a little... interesting looking haha.
Overall:
This is a high-quality, durable chew toy perfect for aggressive chewers. The bacon flavor, dental benefits, and tough construction make it a winner. It keeps dogs engaged, helps maintain dental hygiene, and redirects destructive chewing behaviors. At under $9 (well, it is right now, at least), it's a great value and makes an excellent gift for any dog owner dealing with a heavy chewer. Highly recommended.

The Purple Power Chew My Dog Thinks Is His Life’s Mission
I bought this purple rubber bone hoping it would survive longer than the usual 10 minutes my dog needs to destroy a “durable” toy. Shockingly, this one is still alive and thriving. Honestly, I think it might outlive me.
The material is tough enough for aggressive chewers, but still bouncy and fun, which means my dog is entertained AND my furniture gets a break. It’s the perfect size for medium to large dogs, and it keeps mine busy like he’s working an important full-time job.
He tosses it, chases it, gnaws on it with total devotion… and somehow it barely shows a scratch. The purple color is a bonus, easy to spot in the yard, and it makes him look very fashionable in his ferocious-chewer era.
If your dog believes every toy is a challenge to conquer, this chew toy just might be the worthy opponent they’ve been waiting for. 💜🐶
