Well, you sure paid attention to David Holt's video. No ideas yourself. You couldn't even put it in your own words. Not impressed.

Some of the slow-tempoed dixieland tunes I think is acceptable to tap on the washboard with one hand and then scratch with the other. I do that when I play washboard ....good sound on Tin Roof Blues. I do agree though that it's probably more musical to tap rather than scratching..but one can do both at the same time!

Actually the term "frottoir" means to rub, so the tapping or rubbing as main technique is based on the style of music.
