Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Kazoo.

Setup and maintenance

  • It's crucial to clean condensation from metal kazoos regularly; plastic kazoos avoid this issue but should be cleaned if the membrane splits.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • Plastic kazoos with replaceable membranes allow for custom materials like thin baking paper, offering flexibility in sound customization.

    Source
  • Kazoobie is recognized for producing high-quality plastic kazoos with reliable pickups, setting a standard in the kazoo market.

    Source
  • Using diaphragm pushes during exhale enhances punchiness and rasp, resembling a low "urrgh" growl without the kazoo.

    Source

Build quality

  • Plastic kazoos are often made of polypropylene, a safe material without BPA, unlike some metal or wooden finishes that might contain harmful substances.

    Source
  • Wooden kazoos are noted for a pleasant mouthfeel compared to metal or plastic alternatives, enhancing the playing experience.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • For vibrato effects, flicking a finger in front of the kazoo's small end during play is recommended for a unique sound similar to plucked strings.

    Source
  • Sealing metal kazoos with epoxy at the seam and replacing the membrane can significantly improve sound quality, moving beyond standard offerings.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Metal kazoos can sound harsh; wood kazoos may lack resonance, while plastic models are praised for durability and safety.

    Source
  • Wooden kazoos are perceived as having a mid-range tonal quality, with metal being brighter and plastic somewhat muted.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • A specific technique involves using fingers to control the kazoo's tone, transforming it from a casual toy to a versatile instrument for various music styles.

    Source
  • Positioning a microphone at the diaphragm rather than the end of the kazoo is key for optimal sound capture and performance.

    Source
  • The KaZobo is recommended for extended play to avoid throat strain, offering louder output suitable for crowd performances.

    Source

User experience

  • Transitioning to proper growl singing techniques can prevent sore throats and vocal injury, beneficial for intense kazoo styles.

In 1968, Richard Wright of Pink Floyd was involved in the recording of "Jugband Blues" from the album A Saucerful of Secrets. During the syncopated middle section, which features the Salvation Army Band of North London on brass, there is a notable use of unusual instruments by the band members, including a kazoo. While it's unclear who specifically played the kazoo on this track, it is acknowledged that Richard Wright was among the band members experimenting with such instruments during this period, as detailed by Fika.

At 1:00, Joe pulls out a kazoo to play the "fiddle" part of Be Born. The original studio version had an actual fiddle solo at this part, but none of the actual band members could play a fiddle, opting to instead have Joe play it with whatever additional instrument they had at their disposal. Most often this would be a melodica, however there were other performances where Joe used a kazoo, a banjo, whistled, or simply had someone else play an actual fiddle solo.

Andy: "The demo I did on my Portastudio, I couldn't get a brass band into my bedroom, so I did it on kazoos. We couldn't get a brass band in time for the studio recording either, so we did it on Emulator with whatever discs we happened to have — not so much brass band as a mixture of various saxophones and classical horns. Dave really liked the demo's kazoos so we also put double-tracked kazoos on the brass parts."

Kazoos are all over the Toy Dolls' albums. The example I give here is the intro to 'Deidre's a Slag' from the 'We're Mad, Sunderland, UK' video (1984). The band play the horn section melody of the 'Coronation Street' theme tune on Kazoos. These kazoos appear to be red Hohner kazoos with white caps (although Algar is not pictured playing one!)
