I'm not so sure. To me the image of a washboardist gently stroking the 
flanks of his/her favorite instrument evokes thoughts of erotic sensuality!

On the other hand, to me EVERYTHING evokes thoughts of erotic sensuality!

note: "arco" means "to use the bow" as opposed to plucking the strings. I 
say this because here in Sacramento our main community sports arena (where 
playeth the domineering Sacramento Kings) is named "Arco Arena" (funded by 
the giant gasoline company).

In Sacramento a bass player playing arco could mean that he's really hit the 
big time!
