  • The folks at Aklot sent me some kazoos to review. I received 1 Aklot wooden kazoo (made by Woodman) and 6 Aklot colored aluminum kazoos. These were sent to me free of charge and they did not ask me to return them. I do a basic overview of both types along with a side-by-side sound comparison.

    It would be perfect if the aluminium kazoos came in a wood case.

    The wooden kazoo seems to have a sharper sound to it. It might also be due to it's shape.

    I made a wooden kazoo from some scrap pieces and it looks very similar to the Aklot wooden one. Having never blown into a kazoo I thought the design might not be the greatest. I remembered this video and replayed it. I came to the conclusion that the one I made sure sounds similar to the wooden Aklot. I started playing with a ukulele group and they use kazoos on certain songs. I think I'll order the aluminum ones to have both with me since they certainly do sound different.

      Happy to help! To be fair, I'm pretty sure Aklot just puts their name on these, I don't think they actually make them but still... decent kazoos at a good price.

      @musicalmiscellany  3 года назад +5

      I would agree. The wood one blends really nice with other instruments. It's a bit more buzzy and I think it sounds less like a traditional kazoo but it does blend really nicely. Thanks for watching.

    how do you change the membrane on the wooden kazoo?

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  2 года назад +2

      Thanks for watching. there is a wooden retainer ring that comes off. It takes a small screwdriver or other prying tool to get it loose, then the membrane just drops in. Once you replace it, put the ring back to hold the membrane in place. The kazoo includes a spare ring in case you break one trying to remove it.

    How do you clean the wooden kazoo

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  2 года назад +1

      It doesn't come with any cleaning instructions and the webpage (linked in the description) just says to fully dry the wood after each use. I'm not really sure if there's a specific way to clean the wooden kazoo but I'd probably try compressed air. Thanks for checking out the video.

    Hey, how often do I need to change membrane?

    • @musicalmiscellany
      @musicalmiscellany  3 года назад +2

      That depends on how much you play it and the climate and a lot of other factors but the membranes typically last for a few years with casual play.

      There's not really a definitive answer to that question. It's a personal choice. The point of this video is for you to hear it and decide which one sounds best to your ears. Personally, I'm a fan of the plastic kazoos, but you may like the others better.

      Thanks for watching. I personally like the sound of the metal one better, because I think it sounds more like a traditional kazoo. The wood one has a unique sound though, it's really quite different from the others. Honestly, I think they're both great. The wooden one does include an extra membrane and retainer ring.
      BTW, a handy trick... if you break a membrane, you can use a cigarette paper to replace it. Some folks say they actually prefer the sound of the cigarette paper.

      @musicalmiscellany  3 года назад +2

      I've noticed there is a lot of quality control issues with kazoos. You can order 3 of the same model... and they will all sound different. supposedly, that comes from inconsistent reeds. I've heard you can replace the bad reeds with a piece of cigarette paper and it helps. I haven't tried that yet though.

      I'm not sure if you saw this video but as the price goes up, kazoos tend to be less full sounding. The cheapest kazoos seem to sound the best. ruclips.net/video/d1SaRzYWqE4/видео.html
