[1mandatoryguy]

Less yakety, more sax-- erm.. kazoo!

[Pandaro2]

I only knew it as The Benny Hill Show Theme Song

[1edkihm]

@Pandaro2 ...yep, that's what Yakety Sax was used for.

[Am0lie]

hahahahhaha 

[1edkihm]

Thank you @Am0lie

[Davmm96]

gonna try it now on my kazoo....

[1edkihm]

@Davmm96 ...yes it really works too!

[CapzLockCrew]

i was looking for some of your other videos, but i think they got taken down >_> looks like i have to settle for kazoo instead

[1edkihm]

@CapzLockCrew Yeah, I got an infringement notice and a strike against my account from YouTube and they removed my Hotel California video. So I decided to remove any other videos that might give me a problem but then after doing some research I decided to take my chances and re-upload most of them again. Some I lost because they were done on my old computer which crashed.

[lukas28ytb]

lol the tuning is funny :D:D

[1edkihm]

Thank you @lukas28ytb ...and it works too!

[Mranttii]

A plastic kazoo costs 3 euros in Finland, which is more than a metal kazoo in USA.

And i dont even know where to get a metal kazoo in Finland. O_O

[iamthesaxmaster]

Is that a Grover-Trophy 701B Metal Kazoo (standard)? Maby i'm being to detaled! lol

[1edkihm]

Yes it is, I'm impressed, you really know your fine quality kazoo's. You must post a kazoo video sometime, you must be a true master!

[iamthesaxmaster]

Thanks. that helps.

[iamthesaxmaster]

Thanks for reply! I've seen that Kazoo before. I want to play one but how long do they last? I found a wooden one that has replaceable wax paper. whitch one should I get?

[1edkihm]

Well a Kazoo like mine will last forever, I spared no expense and bought the top of the line metal one for $3 bucks, I can replace the wax paper in this one.

You found a wooden one that you can replace the wax paper? That sounds vintage.

[iamthesaxmaster]

[iamgreaser]

By the way, having perfect pitch is useful for this.
