Workshop:
Washtub Bass with Michael Gifford
​Sunday, November 12, 2:30 - 4:00 p.m. in the Skitch Conference Room

Build it like a Guarneri, play it like a Paganini. Michael plays many instruments. His greatest pleasure comes from playing the washtub bass, or “gut bucket.” He has given hundreds of quick lessons since he built his first washtub bass in 1965. In 2013, he produced his washtub bass instructional video for YouTube, Compleat Washtub Bass.
