The Maui Pocket Xaphoon

This is the woodwind that is small enough to fit in a pocket yet produces a rich, vibrant sound similar to a full-size clarinet or saxophone. Designed by artisans who originally handcrafted them from bamboo stalks cut from rainforest groves in eastern Maui, this version produces a sound that precisely matches the original’s unique deep sound and vibrant power. The instrument is tuned to C and plays two octaves lower than conventional flutes of the same size, nearer to a clarinet, and plays a two-octave chromatic scale with the same intonation as a tenor saxophone. The large round mouthpiece is fitted with a nickel-plated ligature and a 2 1/2-strength tenor saxophone reed. As with all instruments, the xaphoon requires practice to produce music. Made from durable injection-molded ABS plastic. Made in the U.S. 13" L x 1 1/2" Diam. (3 oz.)
