kazoo man

Kazoo playing the blues.

[@LordSandwichII]

I refuse to believe that a kazoo can sound as good as that...

[@TheKazooman]

Sound comes from my falsetto voice, somewhat like the BGs "staying alive".

[@yeetusskeetus3629]

@@TheKazooman My sister thought it was a saxophone until I showed her the actual video instead of the sound

[@wileuler5461]

In the right hands, oh yes!

[@TheKazooman]

you just have to replace the paper inside with newspaper. trace a dime on some newspaper and the circle should fit perfectly in the kazoo. then put cotton in the opening to give a softer sound. the only reason I use the long end is saliva build up in the shaft. but, the most emportant part is your voice. you have to be able to (hum in falseto, in tune). also, your amp input should be set with all the treble off and all or most of the bass on. GOOD LUCK GUYS!

[@Trefort90]

Frank, could you make a video tutorial on this please? I don't understand half of it :(

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

cotton goes in which end? Tutorial time lol

[@RjBenjamin353]

Thank you Frank!! You rock brother!!

[@kevo6767]

Lol saliva buildup in the shaft.

[@sleepyeyeguy]

I'm glad someone actually takes himself seriously while playing the kazoo. That's what I was looking for, not some slapstick, talentless crap.

[@ollilehtonen2762]

sleepyeyeguy You got that right! It amazing what sounds you can get from a piece of plastic. It passes as sax just the same.

[@ollilehtonen2762]

Lol! He sure tricked me! :D But how to make those harmonica like muted sounds with sax?

[@cadencooper1828]

Finally someone who can give this instrument the respect it deserves!

[@pyedee2195]

Agree

[@y0sh1100]

screw the saxophone, this is where it's at

[@TheKazooman]

I forgot to mention taping up the short end with some electrical tape to give your breath more power. sounds like a lot of work to make a kazoo sound like a tenor sax, but, if you can't afford a tenor sax it can be useful in a band for a leed instrument.

[@brandonrankin64]

Sir I beg you to make a how to video describing how you mod the kazoo and some tips and examples on how you play it.

[@deathslice60]

Brandon Rankin I been begging too....it be forgotten in time

[@SuperKorenman]

Mod?

[@theexplodingmothfromhell8012]

To be honest I reckon the most important step is developing a really strong, articulate falsetto voice.

Thanks for the love!

[@mikkrn]

Perfectly! You reached saxophone sound!

[@MazzaCheewanich]

I used to play tenor saxophone and really want to play kazoo like that...still working on it.

[@ejazzz0801]

you Sir can inspire an entire generation to pick up the Kazoo ! 💕 Please send a demo to America's Got Talent.. your skill needs to be witnessed globally.. much love 😁🔥🔥

[@alilawless5866]

My hardest kazoo piece,was Night on the bare Mountain..whilst playing the piano accompaniment....lol,what fun a kazoo can be😁

[@JohnnyHarpo]

This is absolutely amazing!! I'm a blues harmonica player and i never thought u could do what ur doing on a Kazoo~ Keep up the uploads, would love to hear more blues from ya! :) liked + subbed~

[@witty-M]

Tracy Chapman yeeeesss love it!

[@CORONOIDES]

- On the stage there is a problem, Saxaphone player didnt come for the show... + Frank : Dont worry I have my Kazoo in my pocket.

[@ajayadas3248]

I love this. I collect kazoos and I've actually learned from these videos. Lots of good fun!😊

[@AndrewGorny]

wow, that was some really really good kazoo playing

[@petertremblay3725]

Wow that was amazing and great voice!

[@zolkowski]

I have just ordered a kazoo because of this video. Awesome!

[@dmitryivanov9530]

Very correct tone!))))Gooood!!!!!

[@Felixcatus05]

This is wonderfull, great job sir!

[@gorblimey61]

That tone is unreal!

[@tatianamorozova7595]

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

Elegant as always, Frank!

[@LuCaRGT1]

Thats weird, he holds the kazoo backwards.

[@brandonburum8279]

It probably helps him: 1) tongue those notes, and 2) make the wah-wah sound effect.

[@robertlowe5444]

Hi Frank, saw your brother yesterday, and he told me about the videos. I have to say I have missed your Kazoo playing, and I always loved your voice. It's good to see ya on KZbin, although I'd rather see ya in person.

[@fransvanhelvoort1083]

Great, great great. What a nice voice and wonderful kazoo sounds. Love it!. Ordered a kazoo for myself and I am going to study to sound like you. So much Sax! Why did you stop and did not finish the song??

[@BiagioBia95]

Great! I love it!

[@thetommygunmedia]

Jesus, that Kazoo sounds a god damn saxaphone- keep it up!

[@outruzer]

Amazing sound, also amazing how you are responding to comments after 11 years

the sound is great! i will try it, but did you buy one of the chipest kazoo, or the one that you modify did have some quality? thank you! from barcelona!

[@yonta123]

amazing! I so want to learn how to play like you!!!

[@barbbaker579]

You're amazing sir! I'm an old biddy from England. I hum my own made-up tunes all day long - they're really good! But being able to turn them practically into proper music via the kazoo very much appeals. I've read your tips, thank you. But can you tell me if any old kazoo will do (that wasn't meant to rhyme but it does!)? They appear to be the equivalent in the UK of about $4 which seems way too cheap. But I haven't seen any more expensive ones. If you have any recommendations that would be great. Also, what's the best type in terms of what it's made of? I assume plastic wouldn't be suitable. I see there are aluminium ones and assume they're better? Or is there anything else? Finally, do you still play? Do you do gigs? What was your finest hour? Thanks so much.

[@basiliobastardo255]

The best kazoo player i ever search, its sound like a saxophone, you have any tutorial how to achieve such sound?

[@TheKazooman]

after you put the paper back in and replace the insert just put cotton in the slot to muffle the sound and give it a better softer sound. good luck

[@nie7641]

So beautiful...

So you're saying with some hand technique and a kazoo I can basically save myself learning the harmonica and maybe emulate sometjing close to a trumpet

[@teacherdawn1468]

What type of kazoo are you using? Metal, plastic, wood? or does it matter?

[@TheKazooman]

Doesn't matter. Just keep trying.

[@LewisOliveira]

uouuuuu :)

[@kumoni13025gwoon]

What song is this a cover of?

[@TheKazooman]

yes. the original is for inhancing the high pitch sound which is what your trying to get away from. the newspaper will give is a softer sound. goodluck!

[@ranabirchatterjee5664]

I was just searching whether a kazoo can be sounded like a trumpet or not..then I landed here

[@thomahone]

My kazoo has some kind of plastic thin film attached to a plastic ring.. Should i remove this plastic paper inside with normal newspaper? do i have to attach it to the same plastic ring?

[@DekuSlayer]

the paper is the thing that makes it sound like it does

[@TheKazooman]

Thanks so much

[@dikavonzo]

+Frank Helms sir, please make video tutorial how to change kazoo sound into like this. please sir we need this because this is really cool. thx sir
