The hole for singing into is quite large, and I find it a little difficult to close my lips tightly around it. Instinctively, I blow into it, and nothing happens! Of course, since I have to produce sounds for the device to start vibrating. A simple &quot;lalala&quot; sounds quite amusing and intentionally distorted. I fervently try to sing &quot;Shine on you crazy diamond&quot; and am surprised by how much concentration and gentle pressure I have to exert to make it produce a sound. My lungs are definitely getting a pleasant workout.<\/p>\n<p>The metal kazoo, attractively designed in silver and gold and available for \u20ac4.90, has an oval opening, which I find much easier to use, as my lips close around it more easily. My Crazy Diamond kazoo sounds much more &quot;crazy&quot; on it, and I really like the version of &quot;The Cuckoo and the Donkey.&quot; It sounds even more interesting and distorted than the plastic version, and my lungs get a good workout from the small, rhythmic pulses. My impression is that it definitely makes sense to buy such a small training device if you want to challenge and strengthen your lungs with gentle, rhythmic pulses. The cool thing about it is that it doesn&#039;t matter whether you can sing well or not, because the sounds are intentionally distorted anyway. Personally, I prefer the metal kazoo; I find it to be of higher quality and also more comfortable to use. The music store recommends the plastic one as a musical instrument for children.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#039;t have a music store nearby, you&#039;ll also have to factor in shipping costs. How about purchasing it together, for example, as part of a lung exercise group, to save on postage? I can easily imagine it being used there, just as much as at home. Here&#039;s to some happy singing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a8c390759547\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone flex_gap_desktop_10px\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 25px; width: 20%; height: 2px; margin-bottom: 25px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Curious?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oau9gtG5Om8\">Here<\/a> Now we&#039;ll go to a short audio sample.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 25px; width: 20%; height: 2px; margin-bottom: 25px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Author Gabi Niethammer, as published in Alpha1-Journal 2\/2025.
