    Who knew!? What a Kazoo!
    Love how much the “kid at heart” is showing in the photos of you making your own kazoo!

    Wow! I didn’t even know any machinery that old was still in existence much less still in service. Very impressive that they took care of it and are still using it. I don’t know how you find all this interesting stuff.

    Hi Chris,
    Kazoos are wonderful! I haven’t had one for a long time, and I wish I could go to the museum to make my own, like you did.

    I have family who lived and worked in Eden and surrounding towns. Reading about the history of the kazoo, and seeing the pictures from when you visited the museum is very special. I will add your post to my family and New York State history information. Thank you!

    Fun post, Chris – thank you! It IS amazing that NYS is home to the only kazoo factory in the US! It seems like you enjoyed your trip to Eden. I echo your Dad’s comment.

    The machines may be old but look at the guards and warning labels that have been required over the years.
    I bet the operators who ran them almost 100 years ago, never thought about safety.
