A voice-powered little instrumentSourced
A kazoo changes humming rather than mere breath
A kazoo player hums into the instrument instead of simply blowing. Pressure changes from the voice vibrate a membrane, adding its characteristic sound. The pitch and loudness follow the player’s humming.
The performance begins with the voice.
