The present style of insturments started being made just after WW2.~

The insturment is generally made by the player, not bought.~

Mitch----- I play a mean washboard------& I have a metal one-- a brass one & a glass one & none all sound the same-----is that the answer?????

The hammered metal drums from the Carribean islands all have a different sound even though they look alike and measure the same.
