I recently miked a guy who played the kazoo from his bum. I miked it with Coles 4038 into a Fearn tube mic pre to a Crane HEDD at 24 bit/96kHz to PT HD3. The direct sound was warm and fuzzy, but the early reflections were just terrible. Sounded like there was a piece of tissue paper inside that kazoo somewhere!

Seriously...loved your post!

I've tried all these mics, mic pres, compressors, tape machines and...

they ALL make my kazoo sound midrangy.
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
