    Kazoos do not have pitches.

    You make a sound when you hum into them, and then the kazoo alters that sound.

      Kazoos can absolutely have different pitches based on the size/shape of the body.

        It can definitely have a different buzzing timbral quality, but it’s not going to change the pitch.

        I would say that we are both correct, though, because I didn’t take into account the fact that they could have different buzzing timbral qualities.
