The Original Blue Kazoo Aluminum Musical Instrument Ultralight Backpacking Kazoo with Canvas Bag Carabiner Easy to Carry Fun

It’s a kazoo! it works like it’s supposed to Read more

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Blue Kazoo for its improved durability, replaceable diaphragms, and appearance compared to plastic toy kazoos. I felt that if my dog got hold of it, she wouldn't be able to do much damage, and the lack of soft plastic would discourage her from proceeding. I must be going color-blind, as the kazoo itself is not blue but just polished anodized aluminum. The kazoo arrived at my doorstep the next day with only about 400 waking hours to practice before National Kazoo Day on January 28th - a far cry from Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000-hour myth of mastery. I don't recall playing one of these before, but I've always considered them a novelty instrument for children. As a clown, this is perfect to slip into my pockets and doesn't weigh much. The packaging included three spare membranes and a canvas bag with a carabiner folded and stuffed into a blue tube, which was difficult to pull out by hand. I initially heard nothing. (Had I mistaken the blue tube for packaging rather than the kazoo itself?) When I unscrewed the cap, I discovered a membrane had slipped loose, and the cover had been overtightened during shipping - a kazoo rendered silent by excessive engineering. It was fairly easy to screw the cap back into place. Once you are done playing with your kazoo, you'll find it difficult to put it back in the canvas bag that came with it. Place one side against a corner and gently push to stretch the bag while trying to squeeze it inside. After the first or second time, it gets easier to store and retrieve. What everyone quickly discovers is that, besides humming, you need to have the kazoo pressed against your lips to feel the vibration of your voice through your teeth. Well, some folks soon catch on that you just need to press against any hard surface in your head with a small amount of air to carry the vibration. Anyone with a sense of humor will then work out a way to play the kazoo with their nose using the cartilage! This little kazoo is perfect for jug bands and sure to bring a smile to everyone's face, or annoy them to no end, as children will not stop playing with it. Read more

So much fun out of this simple instrument! For some reason, the vibrato membrane holder cap can pop out. Other than that, the sound it produces is amazing. Great deal for the price. Read more
