How to Build an Electric Kazoo

I found this simple instructable on building your own piezo-powered kazoo at http://www.larsby.com/johan/?p=38.  I’ve got to try this for myself.  Wait till I throw it into some delay and a wah-wah pedal!  -shane

Parts needed:

  • A kazoo
  • A piezo mic
  • A guitarjack
  • A bit of soldering.
  • A bit of glueing
  • A bit of drilling.

If you have a piezo that is inside a plastic container follow the
instructions at Erinys superb how-to to extract them.

Solder the jack to the piezo together.
Test where you get the best sound out of the contraption by testing
different positions of the piezo.
Then all you have to do is glue the piezo onto the kazoo (and drill if the
air is trapped)

Anyways, get to it, build one yourself!
