From The Black Diamonds Webpage (a skiffle band)

Washboard

Using metal thimbles on the ends of your fingers and scraping them up and down the corrugations produces a rhythmic rattle, like a drum kit. Add saucepan lids, bells and squeaky toys and you've got a percussion set and, its very easy to play and great fun. I've seen some very weird bits and pieces bolted onto the frames and they are a great sound!

What did you Mangle and can you get a tune from it when you do?? :-D :-D

GinN

GinN Report 19 Sep 2014 20:01

No, Mersey - possing is pushing things around and up and down in a tub with a poss stick :-D :-D :-D

Then you could put things through a mangle afterwards :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Oh, things were so much easier in the good old days before we had automatics! :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-)
