A number of reviews mentioned this is not as easy to play as a recorder and that is true. I've played guitar for over 30 years and a reed instrument was not an easy transition. Reading the reviews the how to book that came with the the xaphoon I was playing in no time. I takes more air to play than a recorder but I'm getting used to it. The tone that I'm getting is closer to a clarinet than a saxophone but is surprising rich coming out of a ~$50.00 instrument.

Not simple, especially if you have never played a reed instrument. And the fingering is nowhere near as straightforward as a recorder. But it is possible to get some really nice music out of this if you are willing to put in the time to learn it. And I love the fact that it is very portable, but still gives a nice, full sound.

The Maui Xaphoon is well built and such a simple design I can't see much going wrong with it in the future. I came to this instrument after spending most of my life playing string instruments. I was keen for a new challenge. Initially it proved very tricky as I have had no experience with any woodwind and knew of embouchure only as a concept. It was a very squeaky beginning, but once you get your head around that it has been heaps of fun.

Initially I bought a Chinese copy for a third of the price. It was not a good investment! The genuine Xaphoon is much easier to play and has a far better sound.

This is a great little pocket sax. I'm still learning my scales because it's been a while since I played, but it sounds great and is so portable it fits in my bag with all of my tin whistles. Love it. Who wouldn't?
