[sdiy] Kazooka

[Harry Bissell Jr]

The FAQ claims it is a magnetic pickup... I'd suspect
its a telephone pickup coil from the dark ages...

The diaphram would have to be metallic in that case...

~or~ its a dynamic microphone element.

I've found that electric kazoos are VERY prone to
feedback in live applications....

so I have a "Kazoozaphone" which joins a trumpet bell
and a standard kazoo for those all important gigs...
