The humble washboard is one of the most overlooked musical instruments around. Okay it can't play the melodies of a classical piano or the screaming licks of a rock guitar. However it can carry the beat of a drum kit and for an old fashioned knees up like “My old man's a dustman” it really just can't be beat.

Use it for Jazz, skiffle, old time music, or even just to tap alone to the latest hits, its up to you. Either way is something a little different from the norm, which has gotta be worth a look.

Yes we know its a little silly, but still its good fun and will hopefully bring a smile to your face.
