ASWEGO KAZOOIST
| Aswego Kazooist visiting from Scotland Karen and Her Daughter |
| THE YOUNGEST ASWEGO KAZOOIST |
| Last week I shared a video of Jared and his FatBoy Performer Kazoo out in Indiana. This week I would like you to meet Iroh, Jared's young son . Here he is with his Cherry Picker's Kazoo! Like father, like son. Jared's video is featured again this week below. Thanks for sharing the videos Jared. Be sure and visit Jared at his website Rust Stick Furniture and have a look at his beautiful custom built rustic hickory furniture. He has a great selection of seating, tables and accessories. |
| JARED AND HIS FATBOY PERFORMER KAZOO |
| This is a Florida Aswego Kazooist Jim from up around the Gainesville area. Just a couple hours from the workshop. Last fall Jim drove down with his FatBoy Kazoo and beautiful vintage Guild guitar. |
| From time to time Aswego Kazoo owners drop by the workshop, send me a picture, video or audio of their kazoo. I thought I would add a new page to the website to share these gifts. Nothing makes this old kazoo maker happier than to see and hear his work in the hands of their new owners. Here's some recent stuff I have received from Aswego Kazooist. |

| Here's what Steve out in South Lake Tahoe, Ca had to say about his Special Order Pickers Kazoo and video updates "George, thank you so much for all of your communication. I buy many things over the Internet, and I've got to tell you, I have never received service to the level you have provided. I am very excited about my delivery. In answer to your question in the video, I like to think of myself as a crafter, and can't wait to try my hand at it. I am sure I will be back as a customer, as your product line is very intriguing. Thanks again for everything, Steve." |

Hi George,
I received my kazoos yesterday morning and I am
extremely happy with all three of them. I can't really
decide which one my favorite is because they are all very
well crafted and unique in their own way. This has been
a great experience and thank you for sharing it with me.
I will take good care of them and put them to good use
as well.
I will probably be ordering some of that bees wax mix
when ever that becomes available on your website, I
rather play it safe and have you make it. LOL.
Once again, thank you very much for the wonderful work
you do. You are a class act.
God Bless,
Peter

| What a beautiful morning! I just received the most beautiful comment on my kazoos from performing musician Steve Williams and wanted to share it. "George, got my kazoo today, and it is without a doubt the finest instrument of it's type that I have ever seen! I play handmade instruments when performing - mandolin and fiddle from WV builders, Szylagi and Whitlow jaw harps, Joe Spiers tweeked harmonicas...that kazoo has the same mojo. It will hit the stage with me this weekend, I believe that says it all! Thanks for a quality performer's instrument at a great price! Steve" (Click Steve's pic to vist his FaceBook Page) |
