Yea, I know, it didn't cost me much money, and I apparently got what I paid for; however, I figured with a title of "Authentic Musical Washboard", that you'd be able to make *some* kind of pleasing musical sounds on it. Oh, how wrong I was.... This thing would look small on a short statured midget! The metal surface on this joke of a product is literally about 7 inches X 12 inches (if that). You're not going to get any kind of resonance on something that tiny. A midget couldn't even wash his/her drawers on something this size should he/she decide to use it to wash their drawers! Obviously, they're not going to be able to make any music on this match box cover, so you may as well wash yer drawers with it. The only song that you'll literally be able to play on this thing is Steve Miller's "Take the Money and Run"! The only musicality you'll get out of this toy is the single note that is sounded as you toss this piece of crap into your aluminum garbage can!
Purchased for preschool music center. Sturdy and well-made. We can’t use the small thimbles that are included (choking hazard) but we provided a variety of items for kids to use to experiment with sound and rhythm.
This sounds horrible! We bought it as a joke to play with a play and sing along evening with musician friends. But it was so bad, that we just couldn't. Don't bother unless you need it as a prop.

Inspired by many viewing of Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, my daughter desperately wanted her own washboard. It really can be used as a rhythm instrument! I thought she's use it a couple of times, but she plays it every day. I have her count syllables in words, or count the rungs on the washboard & use it to set objects on for math work. At times, she pretends to do old-fashioned "washing" on it, so it's actually a simple, well-crafted toy. I'd recommend this for any preschool and Kindergarten child.
Very nice - lots of fun :-) It has a nice tone and is a perfect size. I had to get some smaller thimbles because my fingers are small - but they are only $1.46 each at Wally-World. I used it for a talent show at church and we had a great time. I would also recommend David Holt's DVD Folk Rhythms, which I also bought on Amazon. I am a musician, but I still got some great tips from it :-)
