kazoos
Buzzy toy instruments
Kazoos are small, simple musical instruments that produce a buzzing sound when you hum into them.
A membrane inside vibrates against the voice, creating the characteristic nasal tone.
Kazoos require no musical training—anyone who can hum can play one, making them popular with children and in novelty performances: The birthday guests played "Happy Birthday" on kazoos.
