Where can I get the old fashioned metal Kazoos? I have searched all of the local stores for miles around. I did find a wooden one which I don't care for.

I want to get my 2 students to learn kazoo as an aid the learning melody and tunes.(See my thread above). Help will really be welcomed. Jim

Not recommended for playing outdoors when it's below freezing.

I used to prefer the 'Hummazoo'(sp?) which was a circular kazoo. It was easier to vamp and play quietly -if you wanted to,- as you could completely enclose it in your hands.
Mine all got stolen.
