Dimo is very thin membrane from inside bamboo.

Did I ever warn you to never ask me something unless you really want to know (usually a LOT)?

Yes, there is a type of paper called onion skin, not used as much as before the computer age.
It is light enough. It probably can be used is kazoos, but as with other papers, may not last as long as plastic.

The onion skin (supposedly) used is kazoos was from the plant.

Looks good.
Just thought I'd mention that onion skin is also a kind of paper.

Is dimo from a plant?
