A six-piece band with a guitar, a banjo, a fiddle, a washboard, a jug and a washtub bass. Figures in a ratio of 1:87 for street music making.
Responsibility details are not available.
Six musicians, six different instruments. A guitarist, a jug player, a banjo player, a musician with a washboard, a fiddler and a fellow plucking a bass made out of a washtub. Every figure has an expression and a stance of its own, so a real performance arises from them rather than a row of standing figures.
The jug band is an American folk tradition from the beginning of the twentieth century. People played on whatever was left around the house: an empty jug replaced a brass bass, a washboard served as percussion and a string stretched between a washtub and a handle gave a surprisingly carrying bass. The music making went on in front of a store, at a market or by a station, anywhere a passer-by with small change could be expected.
The HO standard means a ratio of 1:87, so the group suits the usual station buildings and vehicles. It stands out most in a half circle in an open space, where room is left around it for an audience.
The scene will be more effective if you leave a free circle around the band and only place the audience beyond it; the human habit of keeping a distance from performers reads on a model at once. An open case for small change set down in front of the musicians costs a few minutes of work and rounds the story out better than any other accessory.
