A rubboard, also called a frottoir, is worn on the chest and played with scrapers such as bottle openers to build the driving rhythm of Zydeco. This board suits performances, lessons, and anyone who wants a hands-on connection to Louisiana music.

Shipping: Free standard shipping is available in the contiguous U.S. Other destinations and optional expedited services have calculated rates at checkout. Because each board is handmade, allow for processing time before carrier transit begins.
