After 40 years, i prefer the stainless steel rubplate.....spiral versus wavy crimp. And i got lucky with a teak wood frame! Pine wood breaks after being drilled in my experience. Columbus Washboard still sells my trademarked "rhythm board"! Cheers!!!

Great info! 🎯

[@olive4naito]

Thanks for showing us your washboards! 🤗

Hi Jack, Great video my washboard is quite large and is semi circle on the playing part I've added an old school bell and I will be adding a cow bell once I can adapt it to be fitted to the washboard Best wishes Paul

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Such a pro percussionist that even when you absentmindedly scratch your leg (around 6 mins 10 seconds) you get a great sound. 😂

Hi! I've seen glass washboards before (the washing/playing surface appears to be glass or something like it) - it's certainly a harsher sound, but are they playable/would you ever play one?

[@TheWashboardResonators]

No they break easily!

[@ryanpepper5966]

@@TheWashboardResonators That makes sense! Thanks! The glass also doesn't sound too nice either.

[@unklraynutter8928]

Never lol.....

What do you think of Brass washboards, seems the tone would be less percussive.

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Warmer / quieter. Thanks, Martyn.

[@strazzafurniture]

@@TheWashboardResonators thank you for the response! That’s kind of what I was thinking as I was comparing the brass to the zinc.

Hello! Please explain the technique of double stroke! Greetings, Ceco

Hi there! Check out the washboard lessons we've got in the playlists on our channel and the answer should be in there!

[@tommylumberjack]

I saw a few washboards with wavy grooves on the market... Just wondering if you recommend getting one of those?

[@TheWashboardResonators]

Try any metal one until you find the one you like. They last a long time so it’s worth experimenting!! 🎯🎼🎯

[@QalinaCom]

Geez, Cincinnati board were 130quid 3 years ago, about 3X now... I hope musicians are paid more too LOL

[@bearmacmahon6731]
