Before drums and guitars were available for Cajun folk music, (in the late 1800's and early 1900's), a pair of gumbo spoons were commonly used to help keep time to the music. Most spoons were hand held but some were mounted into cypress wooden handles and tied with string to prevent slipping from moist hands in the hot weather. These basic cajun spoons are mounted in a plastic handle using real gumbo spoons. A great rhythm instrument! Basic Cajun Playing Spoons $10.00
