The Maui Xaphoon (pronounced "za foon") is the original "Pocket Sax". It's sound falls somewhere between a saxophone and a clarinet - a much richer sound than it's size would suggest. The experienced player will find the Xaphoon capable of all the subtle shadings and vibrant power of a saxophone.

Review: Instrument à découvrir, transportable au son puissant pour sa taille. La justesse peut, comme un sax soprano, être dure à trouver. Très amusant. La livraison s'est faite très rapidement (1 semaine), malgré sa provenance éloignée.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it tunable?**
A: Not tunable, but worth playing, very cool horn. I previously posted that the bamboo version had better tone color, but was pitched on the sharp side for the 3 that I had owned; whereas the black hard rubber (or whatever it's made of) is pitched well, perhaps harder to control in the 2nd register. Using a different reed & ligature than what comes with it gives far more control on pitch & tonality. It does depend upon your preferred genres, styles, and mode of playing. It is still one of my favorite portable horns. Brian designed a good thing on this!

**Q: Can this produce accidentals?**
A: Yes, it can play a full two octave chromatic scale starting on low c, it comes with a fingering chart that shows all the accidentals.

**Q: Does this use a clarinet size reed or sax reed?**
A: It uses a tenor sax reed (The instrument was developed by an old sax player.), and it comes with a 2 1/2.  Unless you already have clarinet or sax chops, I suggest you look for a 2 or 1 1/2 before it arrives at your house.  The lower notes are difficult for a beginner.  Good luck.

**Q: I can play a few songs on a tin whistle. How close is this to tin whistle fingering? Can you go up octives?**
A: This is totally different than a tin whistle.  I play this a lot but only know a scale.   I do wish I would of gotten the other one with the more formed mouth piece.   I am a sax and clarinet player.  It does come with a book.  I also watched several YouTube videos on this instrument. That may be the idea you might want to use.

*by A***Y on 23 January 2020*

This is a beautiful instrument. It came in great condition for being used, exactly as described. It is very fun to play. The mouthpiece takes some practice to get a good sound, but it is fine once you get used to it. I would really recommend this to anyone who would like to try a new, affordable instrument.
