<P>The FAQ claims it is a magnetic pickup... I'd suspect<BR>its a telephone

<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^)

<BR>> My guess is it's just a small piezo mic next to the<BR>> kazoo's
resonator. But the<BR>> cable also looks like it's coming out of
some<BR>> shrinkwrap on the end. I wonder<BR>> how it's made.<BR>>
Peng - can you shed any light on this?<BR>> <BR>> It could be used to
