Jon Hancock<p>Continuing with Chas McDevitt's Skiffle book, I was surprised to learn—although I probably shouldn't have been—that Peter Hearn, who constructed a mini folding washboard for player and singer Beryl Bryden, made an electric washboard. I'd never heard of such a thing! The Bonzo Dog Band recorded a song including a solo on an electric trouser press, but of course that wasn't using electricity to alter or amplify the sound.</p><p>Checking the Internet I found a company in Spain, Traginer, claiming to make the first and original electric washboard: as they were only established in 2007 it looks like they were beaten to it by a few decades.</p><p>There's probably a general rule that if you can play it, a musician somewhere will have tried sticking a plug on it.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicalInstruments</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Washboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Washboard</span></a></p>
