National Kazoo Day

National Kazoo Day occurs annually on January 28. A kazoo is a musical instrument that produces a buzzing or humming sound when played. It consists of a small, cylindrical or rectangular-shaped tube, often made of metal or plastic, with a membrane or diaphragm at one end and a small opening or hole at the other end. To play a kazoo, a person hums or sings into the membrane, which causes the sound to vibrate and amplify through the tube, resulting in a distinctive, buzzing sound. The kazoo is a simple and inexpensive instrument that is often used in music education, as well as in various genres of music, such as folk, blues, and jazz. It is also commonly used in humorous or novelty performances, as its unique sound can add a whimsical or comedic element to a musical piece.
