Is this kazoo players faking their kazoo sounds?

I tried the exact same kazoos and it is damn near impossible to not get that generic cracked sound at those volumes. what do you think is happening here?

Seems prerecorded

Not even. They're not even using kazoo sounds, this is just two synth sounds playing together.

not getting a trumpet sound out of it /s
joke aside, you can get quite a smooth sound replacing the membrane and some mouth techniques. not to this degree as I've seen

You just put your lips together and blow.

No really. You want to hum into the kazoo instead of blow, and some people don't know that.

"You know how to kazoo, don't you Steve?" (Would've been a much funnier movie that way!!)

Lol! 

Don't suck. Don't blow. Hum.

Very difficult for me to believe these folks expected anyone to take this for real; it seems drenched in intentionl irony/whimsy.

This seems like some kind of joke video where they are taking a video game soundtrack or some traditional song and pretending to make it on found objects. Maybe I'm wrong.

Looking at the rest of their channel I think that's what's going on though. For example I don't think we're supposed to believe the lady is shredding a perfect koto line on a badminton racquet.
