The Kazoo Family: the instrument itself doesn't change the pitches; instead, the notes come from the player's own voice, amplified and altered by a thin membrane and the body of the kazoo, creating a buzzing sound. The original instrument in this family was a comb wrapped with a piece of wax paper.

Article: History of the Kazoo

Nose flute (Humanatone)
Plastic, made in the USA by Trophy, one size fits all. Press noseflute firmly against nose and mouth, with "wings" to either side of mouth, and noseflute directly under nose. Hold mouth well open. Blow only through nostrils and be sure that no air leaks from edges of noseflute. Change pitch by changing shape of mouth. Very silly fun! At this price, they make great gag gifts. Comes in different bright colors!
