That's the very idea. As I say, the one I saw was based on an inverted, glavanized wash tub, but definately the same instrument. Tea chest probably sounds better. The wash tub was big on enthusiasm, if nothing else.

The washtub bass was prevalent in the 1920's jug band music.

Thanks for the confirmation. What I tried to describe did sound kind of improbable.

Hi, You should here the Mouthbow played by Colin Offord, here's his description: Made with Australian rosewood, structural aluminium, carbon fibre & feathers. Two small drums on the bridge channel the string sounds into a mouth piece. It can be drummed, plucked, bowed & can be used by tongued harmonics and throat resonances.
