Workshop:
Washtub Bass
with
Michael Gifford
​
Sunday, November 13 at 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm in the Conference Room

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