The placard says you hum into it like a kazoo. It's not a real instrument

There's a track of a Philipines bamboo band on the CD that comes with the book "Brass Unbound".

I'm skeptical about how resonant that bell is.

Yes, but it does seem to lack some bass.

There may be some linguistic dissonance going on here.

The trombone was O.K., but I preferred the sound and timbre of the bamboo saxophone. :roll:
