Some time back our son bought for my wife, 76/10+, a "rapper's mike," a small version of a bullhorn. Rap musicians use such devices for their "art". There is a built-in rhythm sound but one does not have to use that - just ignore the rhythm button.Our son got this at Radio Shack, and the cost was in the $20 range. It's worth looking into. The sound is not of the greatest quality, but it serves the purpose. Good luck! Bob Howard Bob Howard, occasionally known formally as: Robert B.
