Made in England the 1930’s original tin Kazoo from Clarke comes in a presentation box with instructions. Create come fantastic sounds with this easy to play instrument.
A Kazoo produces a pleasant ‘buzzing’ sound when you hum, sing or speak into it. The quality of the sound is very much dependant on the standard of the player, if you can sing or hum in tune – then you can play the Kazoo. A Kazoo is a member of the ‘Membranophone’ musical classification which is in the percussion instruments as the sound is created through a stretched membrane. This is broken down again into a sub category known as ‘Merlitons’. The sound being created by a vibrating membrane.
Simply blowing into a kazoo will produce no sound. You need to vibrate air from your lungs by humming to make a kazoo come alive. When you play a kazoo, you can make different sounds by humming different syllables, such as doo, who, rrrr and brrr. You can also make louder sounds by increasing air flow as you hum.
