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

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

Fun and inspiring, thank you for the demo.

Thanks from Sydney Australia, appreciate the tips

Buenísimo maestro

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

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.

Nice!...I always want to know how play this kind of instrument. I play for 27 years African, Brasilian and Flamenco percusion...but now I want to learn this one. Thank you for your time and lesson. And tell me where can I buy the whashboard and wish one is the best or more close to get the New Orleans sound.

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 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.

Ha Thanks for sharing this with us

Hi ed what do they call those whistles that make a whiz sound nice video thanks Chris
