VUVUZELA - SOUTH AFRICA'S UNIQUE SOUNDING TRUMPET!

Hello and Good Morning again from a warm and sunny Cape Town. Today I'm going to look at The Vuvuzela. This a plastic brightly coloured noise making trumpet, about a metre long, that has come to symbolise the sound of South African 2010 World Cup Football Fans!

Some would describe the sound of a Vuvuzela as sounding like an elephant blowing its trunk! To say that it’s loud is a considerable understatement but in terms of creating an atmosphere in a packed Stadium the Vuvuzela is undeniable!
To play the Vuvuzela requires a fair amount of technique. So be sure to get in some practice before the 2010 World Cup!
Vuvuzela supplier Boogieblast offers this advice: "Put your lips inside the mouthpiece and almost make a 'farting' sound. Relax your cheeks and let your lips vibrate inside the mouthpiece. As soon as you get that trumpeting sound, blow harder until you reach a ridiculously loud 'boogying blast'." Cool! Be sure to give it a go during the 2010 World Cup Football. Have an awesome day :-)
