Buffy the Vampire Slayer Wooden Flute
I just stumbled on to this. It appears to have 4 holes and a big crack. For the flute player who has everything, except maybe good judgement.

Unfortunately this Shakuhachi like device is not made of wood (despite what the ad says, look at the “end grain” in the photo), but bamboo, which is a grass. Therefore it would be useless as a vampire protection device.Loren wrote:C'mon man, don't be so cynical - one never knows when one might need to stake a Vampire while out for an evening of flute playing in the local cemetary .

Well I'm not going to be left behind, in fact I've been planning to take advantage of this type of thing for some time now: Just recently, in another forum on this board, I unveiled my plans to launch a massive Kazoo tweaking business. Someone thought that was funny, but I'll have the last laugh and here's why (reposted from my original thread):
"Sure laugh all you want BB, however, Kazoo sales are about to skyrocket:
I have it on good authority that Michael Flatley's new production "Riverdance III: Bandaged Feet" will prominently feature Kazoos, rather than whistle. In fact, Davy Spillane is, as we speak, working on his own version of the Low D Kazoo, to play during the tour.
In addition, a Hollywood insider contact of mine has informed me that the next Star Trek Movie is in production and will be titled "The Ressikan Kazoo" (The full title is technically "Star Trek XI: The Generations Long Search Of The Final Frontier For First Contact With The Undiscovered Ressikan Kazoo" To be followed several years, many grey hairs, and more than a few pounds later by "Star Trek XII: Insurrection of the Wrathful Ressikan Kazoo - Nemisis for Generations")
And need I even mention the use of Kazoo on the next remake of "Titanic"? Hardly necessary.
So keep on giggling there happy boy, but once these box office smashes break, I'm going to be selling more tweaked Kazoo's than you can shake a Little Black Whistle at. Hmph!
Loren (Counting my cash already) B."
Nope, I'm not going to be left behind, I plan on driving the bandwagon. Just wait until I start selling Shatner autographed Kazoos.

I find that the humble kazoo can be improved greatly by the removal of the sluggish wax paper membrane that normally comes with them and replacing it with rice paper similar to that of the Chinese flute membrane. The interior seam also causes impedance in air flow and should be smoothed over with blue tac or bondo.Loren wrote:Well I'm not going to be left behind, in fact I've been planning to take advantage of this type of thing for some time now: Just recently, in another forum on this board, I unveiled my plans to launch a massive Kazoo tweaking business.
If you do not already know these things, then you have already fallen behind the power curve and should work on specialty models like the French Horn Kazoo.
Perhaps you could appeal to the traditionalists and invest in combs and wax paper.

As to the sale of the Shakuhachi, I find it strange that a TV prop would not come with papers that proved it was authentic and doubt that a Buffy fan would accept the sellers story that someone said it was used in the TV series.

Nah, too much capital investment there. Nope, I'm going strait to the big guns to hook the traditionalists: Secret unlreleased tapes of Willie Clancy on Kazoo. "Where in the world could such a thing come from??" you ask? The gods were similing on me one day this winter: As I was making the trip from Tampa back to Boston I bumped into the "Alien Autopsy" film maker at a Ron Jon surf shop in the Airport Terminal. Nice fellow. We got to talking about ITM and my Kazoo business plans, and he mentioned that he had this Clancy Kazoo tape. Said he'd let me have it for less than the cost of a case of cat food. (Seems he's had a bit of trouble marketing some of his historical footage recently.)I.D.10-t wrote:Perhaps you could appeal to the traditionalists and invest in combs and wax paper.
So there you have it, I don't need no stinkin' combs and wax paper, or even a fancy smancy french horn looking doohicky, I got Willie on my side! Heck, I can practically hear them announcing the first All-Ireland Kazoo Champion's names now.......
