Thomann Trombone Kazoo 2-stars Reviews

Bit of a dissapointment

I saw this and i thought YES this is very cool. Umpulsive as i am i instantly bought it only to find out later that the trombone part is only esthetic, it doesn't manipulate the sound wich i think is a bummer. The trombone doesn't respond very well to lower pitched humming, it does react very well to higher pitches. I mainly use it to annoy my girlfriend. I'll update when she breaks up with me!

Sorry - but I just don't get the great reviews for this product

Yes - it's basically a toy so maybe my expectations were too high but to me it sounds awful - not the lovely tight sound you get from a decent kazoo - more of an ugly rattle. The slide is almost impossible to move which spoils the fun and whilst the desciption alludes to the fact that you can replace the diaphram - I'm pretty sure you can't !!

It looks great and is a fun idea - but the execution is poor. I also bought the trumpet and feel similar about that - shoddy sticky valves and a poor rattly sound.

Maybe I should live with it for a while. But so far very unimpressed and I so wanted to love it !
