Great store and service.
The Authentic Musical Washboard is a classic percussion instrument that brings vintage character and rhythmic charm to a wide range of musical styles. Featuring a traditional metal playing surface mounted within a sturdy wooden frame, this washboard delivers the crisp, textured sound that has defined early American roots music for generations.
Measuring 18" tall by 8.5" wide, with an 8" x 7" active playing surface, this instrument is compact yet highly expressive. It includes three metal finger caps (thimbles), allowing players to tap, scrape, and articulate a variety of rhythmic patterns with clarity and precision.
Traditionally used in jazz, cajun, skiffle, and jug band music - the washboard serves as both a rhythmic foundation and a unique sonic accent. Whether you're performing acoustically or adding a distinctive texture to an ensemble, this instrument offers a fun and authentic playing experience.

Great store and service.
Not a ton of playing area but sounds nice. Worked really well when I played it with a big band doing a zydeco tune. Surprising projection for it's size.
Great sound and you can't beat the price. Great for acoustic guitar/auxiliary percussion duo. Also used it to teach my general music classes about skiffle/jug band music.
