Tic Tac Box Kazoo

I play a kazoo made from a Tic Tac box in my shows... recently, several fans at shows have asked me how the kazoo is made. And I know that at least one has made his own kazoo.

Well, maybe you want to make one too. Here's how:

	1. Start with a Tic Tac box.
	2. Cut a hole in the flap at the top, stretch a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper over the opening and close the flap on it to hold it in place. Don't stretch it too tight - you want it vibrate. Be sure the plastic/paper blocks all air flow.
	3. Drill (or break) a hole in the bottom of the box. This picture is of the prototype and I just broke the hole in the bottom. Now, when I make one, I cut the hole with a small knife blade using a circular motion - it produces a smooth round hole.

When you play this kazoo, put the hole end in the side of your mouth so you can blow past the hole as you hum - if you don't leave space for the air to escape, you may break the membrane by pressurizing the box.

There it is. Build one and have fun with it.
