Yes - it's basically a toy so maybe my expectations were too high but to me it sounds awful - not the lovely tight sound you get from a decent kazoo - more of an ugly rattle. One of the valve keys is stuck solid and whilst it doesn't affect the functionality it spoils the fun and whilst the desciption alludes to the fact that you can replace the diaphram - I'm pretty sure you can't !!

It looks great and is a fun idea - but the execution is poor. I also bought the trombone version and feel similar about that - shoddy sticky slide and a poor rattly sound.

Maybe I should live with it for a while. But so far very unimpressed and I so wanted to love it !
