The Harmonica Barge was created by Music graduate, teacher and professional musician Ed Hopwood. He studied music performance at The University of West London with a speciality in music education.
Ed plays far too many instruments and needs to stop buying any more as there's not enough room on the barge.

Binging on Tuba Skinny while down with the flu and a link in the comments brought me here. I thoroughly enjoyed that, as a bluegrass/old timey music fan for many years in between my time as a merchant mariner. I smile when I think how when all your young mates were dreaming of doctoring, astronaut, engineer what was going on behind your smile. I don't envy many, I'm content with my life, but then again there's you with yours

This is great, clear and succinct and delivered with simple ease by an actual bloke.

Try cut down shotgun cartridges, good percussive sound they don't come off your fingers easily, seen them first with a Disneyland Paris skiffle band, puts an end to flying thimble syndrome.

[@TawdryTempest]

How do you cut them down?

[@harmonicamastery]

Nice job Ed - that's the simplest explanation I've seen so far.

Great video. I'm a piano Newbie just looking for tips for music, hope you don't mind that I'll steal your ideas for the 88's. BTW if you have any aches and pains and want a video for exercises for the low back, but also the shoulders, arms and hands: Oh My Aching Bach

The barge the music they go so well together, i volunteer on the lochrin belle on the union canal Edinburgh, we've had some great times jamming with guitars, mandolins, bodhran, and singing. Where are you?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Thanks!! that sounds cool, didn't know there was a Canal in Edinburgh?? I've heard it's a great city for folk music

I only regret that I have but one like to give 👍

thanks!!

[@bengemeister]

The scrub is like a crushed roll. I'm learning! But I would like a short scrub. Yes, the triplets are drummy, but do they fit Cajun/Zydeco ? I think not.

[@andydunn5673]

hi, what is the brand of your washboard please? it sounds great

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

thanks- it's an old vintage one but I've worn a hole through it now! see my instagram @theharmonicabarge for my new one I'm about to make!

[@mattk7794]

Where can I buy one like this

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Not always easy to find but eBay worth a look

[@powerzonecreations3893]

What’s the best metal or glass washboard?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

metal less breakable!!

[@bengemeister]

Nice. What are used as pics? Thimbles and zither pics??

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

bengemeister Just aluminium thimbles🙂

[@christopaulo6717]

Is that an 8 inch symbol?

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

no it's a metal espresso cup saucer! I've actually replaced that for a cymbal though now but it fell off at a gig. You've just reminded me I have to fix it :) thanks

[@SONGSTICKS]

Hi Ed, I play percussion in a band and I'm looking to give the washboard a go. Been looking for one on ebay but most of them are the glass one's. I'm presuming they're not suitable? Aluminium best? Cheers Gary

[@TheHarmonicaBarge]

Hi there, Yes best to go for galvanised or stainless steel. Mine is galvanised all the best Ed

[@SONGSTICKS]

​@@TheHarmonicaBarge Thanks Ed. The annoying thing is, I saw one at the bootfair this year... Damn ! but here's the pefect stocking filler for you.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXvLZaewftF6gsk
