Håkon's Music Pages - The Xaphoon (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | 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. |
 | | The Xaphoon comes in its original hand made scorched bamboo, which has a nice scent of woodsmoke to it, as well as a cheaper and more maintenance free ABS plastic version, nicknamed the Pocket Sax. |
 | | Word has it, however, that the Xaphoon is the best of the lot, and so getting this fascinating instrument from the official Xaphoon website (they do ship worldwide), or from an authorised dealer is your safest bet to get one you'll be happy with. |
