Best for those with experience playing clarinet, sax, etc. Mar 04, 2010
By V. C. Maley Jr. "Gambist"
This is a cute instrument for anyone with some experience playing a reed instrument, such as a clarinet (even if that experience was decades ago, as it was in my case). It sounds more like a clarinet than a sax, and in fact it is very much like the chalameau, the precursor of the clarinet. Basic fingerings are similar, but not identical, to those of the recorder. The first octave and a half are fairly easy to play (for those with reed experience), the higher few note are more troublesome. Practice, practice, practice.... One can find a lot of music on the web and elsewhere that fit its range, including some duets. It is really quite small, so will travel well in a backpack or carry-on.

All in all, a useful little instrument. But please be warned: This is not an instrument that is really easy to play. It is not like an ocarina. If you are not a reed player, learning to play the Xaphoon will take some time and dedication.

The xaphoon has amazingly big sound for a small instrument. It sounds like a tenor saxaphone. It makes learning a reed instrument fun. The semi-transparent color is very striking when back lit. I love it!
