The World`s Largest Laughing
Bass Exhibition and Show

Finnish Skiffle Music Happening on 02.08.2009
in Pispala in Tampere. An introduction to Washtub bassology.
The unbelievable music show for the young  at heart and anarchists in the field.
In this hurly-burly performance, the instruments that are 
played 50 box- and washtub basses and 20 washboards,
anonomatopoetic giant keg, a bass rought, a coffin, a bathtub
and world`s highest stringbass.
- The basic idea of the washtub bass ? You don`t have to bother
about the right pitch.
- True. And you always know how to play, whichever the key. 
- That`s just great ! The progress is making progress all the time.
