[Dixielandjazz] Megaphones?

[David Richoux]

I did a search a while back for one - our drummer is our main singer  
and he thought it might work for non-amped gigs. I did not find much  
on The Internets, just these plastic ones:

cheerleadingmegaphones

We didn't get one so I have no idea how good they are.

You might have to search antique stores or eBay for a real old  
fashion cardboard one. I actually have seen some over the years of  
antique shopping but they seemed to be quite expensive for what they  
are.

I have never seen a dedicated megaphone stand - a mic stand or cymbal  
stand could be made to work.
