	Play instructions for the bass box
		The most comfortable position for playing the BASS BOX is to place the instrument on the floor and sit on the upper left hand corner with the right hand hanging over the keyboard.
		On the BASS BOX for any chord you pick the blade directly to the right of the root note will be the fifth of that chord.
		On the BASS BOX this is done by striking the blade with the middle part of the finger right before the "pluck"- the "boom chuck, boom chuck" becomes "ba-boom chuck, ba-boom chuck".

		Once tuned, the box doesn't have to be retuned which is kind of nice.
		Amplifying the box has been difficult since it is so resonant that it is prone to feedback.
		Actually the Jamaican folk music that features the rhumba box is known as "mento music" rather than calypso and unfortunately, it is a rapidly dying genre.

	Jamaica Gleaner - 'Sly Mongoose' mento exhibition Tracing a popular dance music in Jamaica - Sunday \| June ...
		On a raised dais, instruments used in a mento band are arranged the acoustic guitar, bamboo fife, tambourine, shakas, grater and fork, bongo drums, and a pair of Dutch pot covers.
		By the 20th century, the clarinet, harmonica, and tenor banjo were added, and, much, later clavé (rhythm sticks), the weré (a notched sound board), conga drums, and the Cuban rhumba box to provide bass.
		The intriguing shakas (seeds in a snall gourd) can be seen, as well as the grater, fork, and the Dutch pot covers, whose timbre added to the beat.

	Mento Music: The Jolly Boys
		As a result of some sort of rift between Allan Swymmer (formerly the group’s lead vocalist and bongo player) and Joseph Bennett (who had been the rhumba box player and backing vocalist), Alan Swymmer formed his own group.
		A new rumba box player and an incredible banjo player were added [probably Wah Watson], but unfortunately, we did not get their names.
		But that voice deserves a stronger musical cast than the rumba box player and the relatively weak banjo player he was accompanied by.

	Jazzy beats and breaks wrapped in strings - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		No such identity conflict for percussionist Victor "Junio" Monge, who consistently wowed the audience with his dazzling syncopations on a very unusual-looking instrument which doubled as his seat.
		The closest analogy that comes to mind is a kind of 21st century version of the rhumba box common to our mento bands, but with richer and more diverse sounds.
		The deficiencies not withstanding, the three gave the music crossing into jazz and other New World variants (rhumba, tango, discernible smatterings of blues, and even pop).

	Global Pop Course Notes
		The work songs from Jamaica's plantations, the Jonkanoo dance, a raunchy dance that finds its origins in a West African fertility ritual and European dances like the quadrille, polka and mazurka, adapted and Africanized by Jamaica slave musicians, were the other influences of mento.
		A basic mento band is made up of guitar, banjo, hand drums, bongos and the "rhumba box," an oversized thumb piano that plays the bass lines.
		Mento is often confused with calypso, and while they are two distinctly different song forms, they share in common their social commentary with a humorous twist and their roots in folk music of their respective islands.

		Brian "Superstar" Travis provides the bottom end to the Yard Dogs sound, anchoring the beat with the bass sound from his hand made Jamaican rhumba box.
		Brian built the rhumba box after his third visit to Jamaica when it dawned on him that this was an instrument that could be played with one hand while leaving the other hand free for beer drinking.
		Brian also does vocals and provides some unique color to the Yard Dogs sound with a sprinkling of blues harp riffs.

	DooDah Review: Jolly Boys - "Beer Joint & Tailoring" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I'd still recommend their first, "Pop 'n' Mento" most highly, because it has the best bawdy songs, including the Benny Bell warhorse "Shaving Cream".
		Since their primitive, calypso-like style (featuring guitar, banjo, bongos and "rhumba box", essentially a bass kalimba) is unlikely to change, the choice of songs makes a big difference.
		This album is more memorable than their second, with versions of the Jacob Miller reggae hit "Tenement Yard" and Jim Reeves' country classic "He'll Have To Go" (both claimed to be "traditional", but that can't be right).

	Jamaican Music and Instruments
		Mento is Jamaica’s own original style of songs, instrumental music, and dancing.
		In a mento band, banjo and guitar play chords (or melody), a rhumba box or string bass plays the bass line, and melody may be played by fiddle, fife or piccolo, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, or synthesizer.
		Maracas, drums, rhythm sticks, graters, and anything else desired may be played as percussion.
