My grandmother used to play the spoons. She used to tape the handles together then bend the spoon parts so they were separated a little. That's the way she was thought, and that's the way I play them. Every time I see somebody or I'm playing them, I always remember sitting around with her and the family, singing songs and playing the spoons

Abby, you are a awesome lady ! If more people would take a step back in time and play some music , it would be great. I remember as a child as long as someone could play a guitar or something , there was always fun and laughter. People enjoyed hanging out and spending time together. God bless

There's definitely a shortage of musical spoons tutorials on YT. It would be greatly received if you of all spoon players were to create a couple instructional videos. Thank you for this, this simple little video right here clarifies something I wasn't sure about.

I've been trapped in hotels, traveling away from family for work for about 9 mo. (since the who covid thing kicked off) and found my self spiraling through youtube a while back, 'learning to play the spoons'. Somehow I never landed on your content till today but you just fixed what probably 4-8 other 'instructors' had me doing in a wildly uncomfortable manner. (top spoon, where you had it, 2nd spoon 1 finger down). Thank you!

You're right, they aren't made FOR music but they sure are made by music! Can't tell me that a good set of "broken in" spoons play better than new "off the shelf" spoons. Those instruments were spoons and by the love of music and rhythm, they are now musical instruments! BTW, I couldn't eat soup with those 😂🤣😍🤣 Almost like using a laddle
