  Xaphoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Xaphoon (also known as Maui Xaphoon or Bamboo Sax) is a single-reed keyless bamboo wind instrument.
The Xaphoon was invented during the 1970s by the American instrument maker Brian Wittman, who still makes all of his instruments by hand, using local bamboo cut from the forests of the eastern end of his home island of Maui, Hawaii.
It is very similar in construction to the chalumeau, a keyless European single reed folk instrument that was the ancestor of the clarinet.

 Michael Wittmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was a commander of a StuG III, a big step up from the armoured cars Wittman had used in his short experience in the Polish Campaign.
The most recent book to study the subject is No Holding Back by Brian Reid, which provides a detailed topographical map of the engagement, and is benefited by extensive review of Allied and German records (the book is about Operation Totalise but devotes an entire appendix to the subject of Wittman's demise).
Wittman's crews (chiefly gunner Balthasar "Bobby" Woll, also a Knight's Cross holder) are known to have destroyed at least 138 tanks and 141 artillery pieces, along with an unknown number of other armoured vehicles.

 Håkon's Music Pages - The Xaphoon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Xaphoon, also known as the bamboo saxophone, is an interesting instrument, with a sound seeming as a cross between a saxophone and a clarinet, full and rich, but surprisingly coming from an instrument the tiny size of a descant recorder.
Made by hand in Maui by Brian Wittman, who for the last 20 years have created more than 15.000 such instruments for musicians all over the world, each Xaphoon is a unique and playable work of art.
Measuring in at a mere 12 inches long, and tipping the scales at less than 4 ounces, a Xaphoon in the key of C packs a whole lot of sound in a very tiny package and is more pocketable and backpackable than most musical instruments.
