These are the same links as other parts of the site (probably), but are grouped by construction method. There Are a number of ways to make kazoo bodies (or anything else) Fabrication--take a flat sheet of material, such as metal, paper, plastic, etc. and cut, fold and/or glue or solder etc to form a body. These paper ones could be adapted for metal and other materials.

The instructions are in French, but it is not too hard to follow the pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffeta/3901667363/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffeta/3059359705/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffeta/3060194038/ Molding--take a mold and apply the substance you wish to make the kazoo out of, such as plastic, clay, paper strips, paper pulp, fiberglass, candy, etc. when firm enough the object is removed from the mold and possibly has other parts and/or finish applied to it. In some cases the mold can be purchased, an existing object used as a mold, or a mold made from scratch.

This can include the use of a lathe.
