Paper Towel
Making a musical instrument out of a paper towel roll?

I vaguely remember making a musical instrument out of a paper towel cardboard tube when I was little. I think it involved rubber-banding a piece of wax paper over one end. (I might be remembering wrong, too.) So, I want to make one...Anyone ever do this? How is it made? I tried just putting the wax paper over one end and it doesn't seem to work.

How about making a kazoo out of a comb and wax paper? Again, a vague memory...Anyone remember how to do either one?

Thanks a lot!

O, brother..

You must be my age.... ha ha hah

well,, here are some suggestions.. not sure they will work either.. haha

take a plastic comb.. and take a small piece of wax paper.. it goes on top- side of the teeth of the comb..
hold it tightly..
put in mouth.. and blow.. I remember there was kinda of a art to this..
kinda like a horn instrument.. u have to have the no how or u have to practice a lot..

then the paper towel..??

seems like we put a few tiny hole in the roll.. near the top.. then use a rubber band to hold the wax paper on the bottom.. it can't be too tight around the roll..

good luck... my memory is like ur 's..
good to remember all the things we did as kids..
the kids of today have missed out on a lot..
good luck..
