Hand engraved from solid sterling silver, this kazoo is a functional object reimagined through traditional silversmithing. Laddan Ledbetter applies classic hand-engraving techniques—normally reserved for heirloom silver—to an unexpected form, resulting in a piece that balances craftsmanship with character.

This instrument set is crafted entirely from solid sterling silver and completely handmade. The harp is forged over an anvil with a hammer, while the kazoo body is formed using press dies. Each piece is engraved by hand and finished individually, making every example a true one-of-one collectible.

While fully playable, this kazoo is equally compelling as a sculptural object. Any musician or avid music lover will appreciate the unique and thoughtful twist on a familiar instrument—one that naturally becomes the centerpiece of a collection.

Crafted in Texas. Made to last. Designed to surprise.

Part of the Wilkinson Artisan Series.

About The Artist

Ladden Ledbetter — Texas Silversmith

Raised in West Texas, Ladden Ledbetter comes from a background rooted in metal, work, and the culture that surrounds it. After time spent around welding shops, rodeo, and working with his hands, he found his way into silversmithing and hand engraving through traditional training and mentorship. The techniques he uses are time-honored. The objects he chooses are anything but expected.

Ladden applies classic hand-engraving methods to unconventional forms—sterling silver kazoos, yo-yos, spinning tops, and a flask designed to be worn around the neck. Each piece is made entirely from solid sterling silver and engraved by hand with the same discipline and precision found in traditional Western silverwork.

What sets his work apart is the balance: deeply skilled craftsmanship paired with wit and curiosity. These pieces are playful without being novelty, refined without being precious. They invite interaction, spark conversation, and carry the quiet confidence of something made properly, start to finish.
