<p>An augmented musical toy (10) includes a housing (11) defining a semicircular handle (12) and generally planar body (13). A hollow tube (14) is supported upon the body and includes a kazoo sounding unit (30). The body further includes a pair of generally cylindrical sounding cups (40, 50), having disposed therein quantities of moldable plastic material (45, 55). In one embodiment the sounding cups are closed end while in an alternate embodiment a small air passage (146, 156) coupling the cup interiors to the kazoo sounding tube are provided. A flexible tube (15) is coupled between the kazoo and a user mouthpiece (16). In its anticipated use, the user produces sounds using the kazoo sounding unit while augmenting the sounds produced by inserting one or more fingers into each of the sounding cups and imbedding them into the plastic material therein.</p> |
