What instrument makes a humming sound?

A kazoo player hums, rather than blows, into the bigger and flattened side of the instrument. The oscillating air pressure of the hum makes the kazoo's membrane vibrate. The resulting sound varies in pitch and loudness with the player's humming.

Is the kazoo a real instrument?

A kazoo is a wind instrument unlike conventional brass and woodwind instruments. When a musician plays a kazoo, he hums into it and that causes the thin film to vibrate. This vibration changes with the sound of the voice giving it the buzzing quality, which is unique to the kazoo.

Are metal kazoos better than plastic?

Musicians who are experimenting with the top kazoos would be wise to consider owning a plastic and a metal kazoo. If you're playing around in a broad harmonic range, plastic will have your back on the lower tones, while metal can handle the rest.

What sound does a kazoo make?

A kazoo is a very simple musical instrument, made up of a hollow pipe with a hole in it. The hole is covered by a membrane that vibrates, resulting in a buzzing sound when people sing, speak or hum into the pipe.
