Kazoo needed

[Nubus]

$17.95 for the electric kazzoo, but the pitch to midi converter is more $$

Instead of paying for an electric kazoo you could just buy a regular one and electrify it using the pickup I described in this thread:

I just realized I'm supposed to record a kazoo solo Friday night! Maybe, maybe I'll electrify their kazoo.

Is it crazy to just record the sound with a mic?

[Nubus]

I wish I had a green bullet. That would probably be perfect.

[lukedavo]

I imagine almost any mic will do, radio shack to neumann, its a Kazoo. I'd be really suprised if it was used as a crucial part of a song, in the case that it was, I'd use a good dynamic or ribbon.

[Nubus]

Well it's a kazoo solo. I didn't want to use a ribbon cause he's sure to blow right into it. Should be intresting. actually Dan is letting me borrow his bullet.

[lukedavo]

There ya go, yeah if your getting really close to the mic dont use the ribbon, but that bullet should to the trick, if that doesn't work maybe try a large dia cond. ahahhahhahhahhaha

Kazoo sounded great double tracked... and we did a punch-in. The bullet sounded like he was just yelling into a broken plastic microphone. We used a 57 instead for the increase in fidelity!
