Didn't this used to be called the Zydeco Tie? Yup...same high quality and in fact you can still play along with any kind of music that uses scraped or shaken instruments from different parts of the world. This means that you can accompany Zydeco music (rub board), Latin American music (guiro), Jug Band or Old Timey music (wash board), African music (shekere), Irish music (bones) and you can even sound like a field of crickets! So experiment, have fun and continue to amaze your friends!
