The Maui Pocket Xaphoon

This is the pocket woodwind that is the size of a standard recorder, yet plays a two-octave chromatic scale with the same intonation as a tenor 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 rich, deep sound and vibrant power. The large round mouthpiece is fitted with a solid brass ligature and a #2 1/2-strength tenor saxophone reed. The instrument is tuned to C and plays two octaves lower than conventional flutes of the same size, nearer to a clarinet. Compact enough to fit in a backpack or purse, the pocket sax is made from durable injection-molded ABS plastic. This instrument has the same sound quality as the Maui Bamboo Pocket Saxaphone. Made in the U.S. 13" L x 1 1/2" Diam. (3 oz.)
