I have acquired some old Soviet gas masks, sent over from Berlin. They are absolutely nightmarish, as you can see from this photo. The Soviets weren't happy with simply making them functional, they made them look like something from depths of hell as well. What to do with these wonderful things? Well, I thought I'd have a crack at turning them into KAZOOS! Here is the video documenting my attempt.

It's also nice to know
that in the event of a gas attack, I will survive so long as I can get to a kazoo in time.

the government don't want you to know this
to avoid kazoo hording, which would of course bring the country to its knees

We keep two on each floor of the house,
and conduct regular emergency kazoo drills to the theme from Airwolf.

Blimey, coldwar faceless killing personified !
Super stuff, but a note of caution (puts on sensible dad jumper finds pipe) A lot of prewar gasmasks feature fibre filters that over time have degraded and broken down thusly 70+ years later can cause some health problems if inhaled. I don't of course know if the same goes for coldwar Ruski ones, but thought I would share. Let's all be careful out there kids
Still does not detract from humour value of the above, you silly man :)
Giving health & saftey advice....ffs...I now feel really old.

yeah, it's true you need to remove filters
these have only valves on them - the filters were originally at the end of a tube that screwed into the nose.

you sir have so much time.
I also have time but not enough fun things to play with as I work mainly with bike parts. Maybe I'll try and convert some handlebars into a complex kazoo horn.
