Washboard

I Thrifted a washboard it’s kind of old and I was wondering if the wood in the back if it was shaky wood change the sound of the wash board also, I’m having a hard time getting the symbols to stick on my fingers if I stick something into symbols will it change the sound?

I tried thimbles with my washboard and didnt like them, so I use banjo finger picks that I got for my banjo but dont use, those feel a lot better. I've seen players use spoons and plaster knives as well. It doesn't have to be thimbles.
