About this listen

 It’s the instrument anyone can play, and just about everyone has. The kazoo may look like a toy, but its buzzing voice has a history that winds from 19th-century parlors to marching bands, jug bands, and even the stage of Carnegie Hall. In this episode of The History Of, we explore where the kazoo came from, why it caught on, and how this simple tube became a surprisingly important part of music history.
