If yes, then that number just went up exponentially. No one in my family can “play” them, but my dad can make them sound like a coyote by bending them a bit.

You have to have a bow to play them properly.

Hubby still has his guitar. I doubt he's played it in decades. I sold my flute about 15 years ago.

 

[The Moonshiner]

I don't think so, never heard of any instruments like that.

How about spoons? I've got a lot of them.

I have 4 old moonshine jugs and 2 really old washboards.
Can I count them?

Of course. Some of the best music ever made

Of course he can count them! These were legit instruments in the mountains of Appalachia when "real" instruments were impossible to come by. The saw, too. People used washtubs for percussion instruments also. Drums, if you will. They had real hoe-down hootenannies and square dances using these instruments. Google!

Folk music is legit

I have sold or given away everything except a couple of guitars that were handed down to me. I think one from the 1950's and one I would say the 60's or maybe 70's. I would never get rid of those. But, I really have no interest in playing anything now days.

We used to play with them on the job, used our thumb to get more of different tone boing. Best sound came from Sandburg Hougboon (sp) which I think were German made saws.

Sandvik Hogboo? Swedish saw.
