Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Hey! Why do I look so evil? When I'm in that kind of mood, you definitely don't want to give me back my kazoo.

Relisted.

Now spelled "Hoody Duty".

Also, at least for the time being, the title is KAZOO /WHISLE * TIN / SEE PHOTO

but there is no photo.

Specifically, it's a "Tin Whisle OR kAZOO". Your choice!

Of course, Trophy Music (aka Grover / 1stNote) is still alive and well:

Why they think this is an antique from the era of Hooty Dowdy ... er, Hotty Dotty ... er, "from the 50s" is ... interesting.

I always hated hoody duty, too. Nowadays, it's liable to get you shot.

You're assuming they actually think that; I mean, how would you go about trying to sell a used kazoo on the internet for $2 plus shipping?

Ach you youngsters!

It's "Howdy Doody" as in "hello."

And, I gather from the description that it is a kazoo, though given the spelling it is a bit hard to figure out. I think that I'm sure it is not a seltzer bottle though...
