Music: Re: [oddmusic] Re: kazoo membrane materials

I've experimented with a lot of different household materials and am interested in the subtleties of getting a good buzz.

I read that and thought of things other than kazoo buzz.

Here are a couple of tutorials on applying dimo

You could probably use that technique with materials other than dimo.

If you don't have the special glue they mention, you can use fresh cut garlic.

Please let me know how your experiments go.

I will be doing another page about other aspects of membranes, like tension, how to attach, etc.

Can you comment more about this technique you mentioned on your web page regarding dimo?
"It is crinkled up first and adhered with specific placement of wrinkles."

I've experimented with a lot of different household materials and am interested in the subtleties of getting a good buzz. (!)

Thanks.
