Modeled after the washboards commonly used in early Americana, these tradtional washboards make excellent acoustic rhythmic and ensemble instruments. With a corrugated steel playing surface housed in a solid wood frame, they are sturdy and built to last. Place thimbles on all the fingers of one hand while holding the washboard with other, and you'll be strumming out amazing and intricate rhythmic patterns in no time flat!
Similar in function to the guiro, this instrument creates a rhythmic noise as you scrape the wooden rod against the washboard's ridges. The musical washboard is ideal for group play, and helps children learn rhythm.
