Hohner Harmonica HK50 Plastic Kazoo

The Kazoo is a basic wind instrument. Origins of the current Kazoo date to the MID 19th century, United States. It is a Tube with a mouthpiece and an air exit hole. A thin membrane mounted atop the tube from air vocally blown in through the mouthpiece makes sounds. Actually, you hum through the mouthpiece!
BR> The membrane is the key point of the kazoo. The whole idea behind the instrument is, that a kazoo player by singing or speaking through the instrument induces an air current which makes the membrane vibrate and thus creates a summing, "nasal" sound. All you need to be able to play a kazoo is the ability to hum a tune through the mouthpiece. The membrane vibrates and makes an accompanying sound. Kazoos have been played in marching bands and even in orchestral works.

All you need to know to play a kazoo is the ability to hum a tune. Any tune. One you've made up or any melody you're familiar with. It's easy, simple, and fun. Who knows? You might have a promising career ahead as a kazooist! Start playing it today.
