<P>The FAQ claims it is a magnetic pickup...

<P>-------I would put it VERY,ULTRA,MEGA prone to feedback !!!!!!! I use a momentary footswitch to enable playing which can give a cool side benefit. You can get an effect kinda like when DJs toss the talkback switch back and forth. Hold a note (a hum) and start steppin'.</P>
<P><BR>so I have a "Kazoozaphone" which joins a trumpet bell<BR>and a standard kazoo for those all important gigs...<BR><BR>H^) harry<BR><BR><BR>--- "Metzger, Michael A" <MAMETZGER@PARTNERS.ORG><BR>wrote:<BR><BR>> Kazooka.....this looks like a cool little device.<BR>> Thanks Peng!<BR>><BR>http://www.broadjam.com/artists/artistindex.asp?artistID=7034<BR>><BR><HTTP: artistindex.asp?artistID="7034" artists www.broadjam.com><BR>> <BR>> <BR>> My guess is it's just a small piezo mic next to the<BR>> kazoo's resonator.
