Seeking Kazoo

Does anyone know a store where I could buy a kazoo? Extra points if the store is T accessible.

Stellabella Toys in Porter Sq is probably closest to Davis. Or Wood & Strings in Arlington Center.

So, I found myself in a similar boat several years ago, and wrote a filk about it, to the tune of TMBG's "Where do they make balloons" (http://kdsorceress.livejournal.com/387057.html).

This isn't actually helpful, but yeah. I'm excited to have something relevant to link.

(Also I think I found a bunch in Stellabella. My best kazoo was a freebie from Hot Topic for contributing to their save the music campaign. That's right. I have a goth kazoo.)

Oh heck, there's a dollar store right in Davis Square, too! Why didn't I think of that...

The store in Davis Square is Family Dollar, which is not quite the same thing as a true 'dollar store' (where everything costs $1).

My first thought was Wood & Strings, too. You can get there via the 77, the 87, or the 80 bus.

Depends on if you want a piece of junk some stores call a kazoo or a really good kazoo.

IMHO, the Hohner plastic kazoo (straight, no bumps) is the best standard kazoo.

Kazoo Co from Eden, NY used to be the best, but their metal work has really gone to hell in the last 10 years or so.
And if it has the 3 little bumps on it pretending to be valves, leave it where it is.

The best you can get for sale nowadays without getting one custom-made is the Toycraft Barrel kazoo. It's loud, solid, and a fine piece of work.

Give Wood & Strings a call, they are the most likely to have what you want.

This. Well, the first sentence of this.

I don't know where to get a GOOD kazoo. I'm sure you can get a bag of plastic kazoos at a dollar store, or iParty. OTOH, if you are looking for a REAL kazoo, one that will last, then yeah look at music shops.

Or You could just MAKE one. there are instructions on the net.

I bought a Woodstock brand metal one at Arlington Woods & Strings last week. They had plenty.

Sandy's Music in Central would probably have one.
