Rhode Island Novelty 29" Blue Collapsible Stadium Horn (24/Cs)

This is one of the better four dollar and 66 cent purchases of my life. It arrived a day before the grandkids came over for a visit. "What is that Papa?" "Oh, let me show you!" The seven-year old grandkids caught on right away. The fourteen month old one took, oh, just a bit longer -- but not much. It is such a fun little device -- fun, yet annoying to anyone who doesn't like Vuvuzelas. (Look on youtube and you'll see just how much the crazy leader of the WW-II Axis powers hates these things and their impact to the game of soccer!!) Thinking of my neighbors within hearing distance, I can only hope it annoys just one of them. OK, at least one of them. It is absolutely amazing how the fine sound from this horn echos through the woods. In closing, I'd highly recommend this for anyone who treks in the wilderness -- never know when you'll have to call attention to yourself for a rescue, eh? My only regret? I should have bought a few more.

I bought 20 of these stadium horns for a World cup 2010 birthday party for a group of 12-20 year olds. We were in a conference room at the university gym,(so we could run downstairs during the break to play indoor soccer)watching the final game--spain vs netherlands. We were glued to the screen and when spain scored all 20 of the vuvuzuelas went off! It was awesome....other guests of the gym came into our room to see what all the noise and excitement was about! It was hilarious! So, they were an excellent purchase...they did exactly what I wanted them to do...they lent some authenticity to the party, they were great favors, and they made lots of obnoxious noise to celebrate the winning goal! P.S. there is a technique to successfully making the vuvazuelas make noise. So we did have to practice for just a minute to get the sound right, but the kids did NOT care!!!

It extends into one big piece but it isn't two separate pieces. The fact that you can break it down to one small piece helps for when you're taking it into a stadium or crowd. It fits perfect in a purse, backpack or small bag. The material isn't flimsy either. It's plastic but not breakable plastic. In terms of loudness, it does the job fairly well. It's not air horn loud but it is noticeable. I used it for my sister's graduation and when I entered the auditorium (seats 1000) I was a little afraid it would go unnoticed. Well when I hid under the benches so I wouldn't get caught and blew it, trust me, it went very noticed! I had to leave it behind so I wouldn't get apprehended. Overall, I would/will definitely buy this horn again. I was very satisfied with its performance.

This is a totoal piece of crap. It is advertised as a 29 in world cup horn. When I recieved it, it was cut in half and put in a tiny box, not to mention covered in dirt. I mean cut in half with a box cutter and pulled apart. When I called the company to ask about the horn he stated that it was a collapsable horn. Even though it was not advertised as so in the title there was a small blurb about it being easy to take to the world cup. Never will I buy from this company again.

This vuvuzela ( World Cup Stadium Horn Blue 29 inches is everything a vuvuzela should be, and nothing a vuvuzela shouldn't be. You need to know how to blow any of these horns, but if you can blow it, it will produce a delightfully loud and resonate tone, more mellow than some. No, I am NOT going to take this to any stadium, for fear of having it broken over my head, but I will make good use of it on New Year's eve. Or any other time I just want to blow the vuvuzela. Only drawback: the cat hates it.

I looked up vuvuzelas on a lark. And, oh! I have been so pleased with my purchase. I am not a brass player so my embrochure (the way you buzz your lips to get the horn to work) isn't quite up to hitting several notes, but you can hit several pitches with this bad boy if you have the skill. This vuvuzela is blappy, buzzy, LOUD, and generally irritating. I am inexplicably happy with it. Whenever I remember that I own it I rush to where I store it and create the joyful noise. I am now only allowed to play it between lunchtime and dinner. I am specifically banned from Breakfast Vuvuzela Time, Pre-Bed Vuvuzela, Dawn Vuvuzela, Vuvuzela While Husband is Showering, or Relieving Himself. However I AM encouraged to confuse the cats with the vuvuzela because the enrichment is good for them. I keep trying to convince my husband, through modeling, that the enrichment is good for him as well. He disagrees. Order this and learn just how tolerant your spouse, partner, roommate, Resident Assistant, Principal, boss, or parents are. It did arrive slightly crushed, but since I clearly have no regard for my own (or others') musical taste and general sound quality of my aural surroundings, and because I was able to work out the crumple a little, I only knocked off one star. Indeed, the ease with which one can crush this vuvuzela may be a selling point, or the saving grace of your intimate co-habitant relationships. Edit: It has been quite a few years now, and the vuvuzela has survived a cross-town and a cross-country move. I have two kids now, and we have to hide it from the youngest. Obviously my marriage has withstood the Joyful Noise.

I found this recently, haven't used it in years. We bought it because we had a horrible neighbor. His music was so loud you could hear it at the end of the block. And he would not stop no matter who asked. I'm not talking about good music either. He was a bass player and all he could do was go up and down the scales every night. It was full on three fingered mullet rock for about two hours at a time. So we bought this, well, I bought this. Waited patiently while he got into his rhythm and then blasted it through the window. It was terrible but it was funny. Truly loved this thing but I dread to think what a stadium full of people might sound like. The neighbor is long gone now, happily. But the fond memory of the vuvuzela lives on in a corner of our bedroom.
