    The italians invented the violin, the germans the trumpet, the scots the bagpipe and the americans well... they invented the kazoo

      Alex Ander it is untill It starts to push the limits of your breathing. Appearently singing helps kazoo playing.

      What are you even talking about? I have spent 25 years studying the Kazoo in a dojo. I have learned of all the great Kazooists and hearing a punk like you just simplify it in such an elementary manner Is disgusting. I am horrified that you would even suggest that this great instrument is "easy." If it's the "easiest instrument" then explain to me why it took me so long to learn to play it. I'll have you know, I spent $60k to get my custom Kazoo from the legendary Kazoo craftsman, Yamato Takayama. It's ignorant fools like you who ruin the finer things for the rest of us elite intellectuals. You are marked for death by the Kurfuffling Kazoo Klan (Beg for mercy you lowly degenerate scum.)

    I just bought my first Kazoo. For a bolder tone just put your mouth over the wider end, and hum any song you know. Really easy to use. A group of people playing the same song adds to the fun. Enjoy.
