Look here for videos showing how Swedish musician Martin Molin built his incredible machine – a hand-made music box that powers a kick drum, bass, vibraphone and other instruments using a hand crank and 2,000 marbles.

Today is National Kazoo Day – celebrating 146 years of kazoo playing in the USA.

The kazoo is a musical instrument that adds a “buzzing” timbral quality to a player’s voice when the player vocalizes into it. The kazoo is a type of mirliton, which is a membranophone, one of a class of instruments which modifies its player’s voice by way of a vibrating membrane. (Wikipedia)

This weirdly disturbing video describes the history of kazoos.

A little bit of kazoo science:

I really, really want this one:

You can even buy an electrified kazoo that will plug into your amplifier:

Fun for the whole family:

kazoo 3

Did I ever tell you that I was once the director of a kazoo band?

The theme today is music.  I thought these tattoos were quirky and cute.
