	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! SKIFFLE MUSIC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiffle
