Wind Toys & Sound Effects
Classic Tin Kazoo with 2 part metal body and replaceable membrane
These whistling tubes or ‘noise-makers’ will keep children entertained for hours, whilst also demonstrating the fascinating physics behind music.
Simply twirl the red tube around and the air moving through it produces a range of tones, loosely on the harmonic scale. When you twirl faster a higher tone is produced.
The WindSinger is an absolute novelty with its sonorous sounds, the unbelievable variety of movement possibilities and techniques.
No matter how you swing it, its lasting tone will accompany you. Stirring rhythms can be heard by waving it up and down quickly, while slow circling invites you to a meditative bath of sound. And even the subtle sound of a light sabre can be created when the WindSinger is moved through the air gently or even vigorously. You can also dance and perform with it, as the response of the rubber band is wonderfully easy.
With its pleasant birchwood handle and the low weight of just 160 g, the buzzing bow lies balanced in the hand and is easy to play. This unusual effect instrument is handmade in Austria and the excellent workmanship underlines its quality
Made in Peru, this beautiful handmade ceramic bird has a hidden talent. Fill with a small amount of water, gently blow into the tail and as your breath travels through the water you will start the bird singing with all the joys of a dawn chorus. Height 6cm.
The wooden kazoo is fabulously crafted, about the size of a lighter, making it particularly comfortable to hold. Of course it should not stay that way! Effect-rich sounds can be created almost without practice by singing in, humming or speaking.
The round transparent paper membrane on the top of the small instrument vibrates your voice and the melodies are amplified and modulated. This creates multi-faceted, nasal sounds reminiscent of a saxophone. Doesn't this recall memories of childhood - when one made blaring sounds with a comb and bread paper? It's so easy to play that you don't even have to take expensive music lessons in order to create virtuoso and entertaining sound experiences!
At KOW you will find the modern version of the funny pocket saxophone. The Wooden Kazoo is, with its environmentally friendly materials, the optimal trouser pocket size, its lightweight and of course the incomparable jazz sound, the perfect pocket trombone for young and old.
