    Looking for that BIG sound? This one's a banjo killer!

    (Heck, it could probably kill the banjo player, too, if wielded just so. )

    On a similar note, here's a kazoo so big it couldn't fit through the door - so they put it on the roof!

    I want to see the pick for that, and how the heck it's used. And, just because I gotta, how much would the Blue Chip for that thing cost?

    It's probably at the Music Villa in Bozeman, MT. It's a nice store. They sold my 1920 Gibson A for me. They have a mandobass on display there too.
