Its polished black finish and 3-piece construction make it both stylish and portable, delivering a rich sound that bridges the gap between saxophone and clarinet. Ideal for beginners and professionals, it’s the ultimate travel-ready instrument for spontaneous creativity. ## Description The Maui Xaphoon (pronounced "za foon") is the original "Pocket Sax". It's sound falls somewhere between a saxophone and a clarinet - a much richer sound than it's size would suggest. The experienced player will find the Xaphoon capable of all the subtle shadings and vibrant power of a saxophone. Review: Instrument à découvrir, transportable au son puissant pour sa taille.

I previously posted that the bamboo version had better tone color, but was pitched on the sharp side for the 3 that I had owned; whereas the black hard rubber (or whatever it's made of) is pitched well, perhaps harder to control in the 2nd register. Using a different reed & ligature than what comes with it gives far more control on pitch & tonality. It does depend upon your preferred genres, styles, and mode of playing. It is still one of my favorite portable horns. Brian designed a good thing on this! **Q: Can this produce accidentals?** A: Yes, it can play a full two octave chromatic scale starting on low c, it comes with a fingering chart that shows all the accidentals. **Q: Does this use a clarinet size reed or sax reed?** A: It uses a tenor sax reed (The instrument was developed by an old sax player.), and it comes with a 2 1/2. Unless you already have clarinet or sax chops, I suggest you look for a 2 or 1 1/2 before it arrives at your house. The lower notes are difficult for a beginner. Good luck. **Q: I can play a few songs on a tin whistle. How close is this to tin whistle fingering? Can you go up octives?** A: This is totally different than a tin whistle. I play this a lot but only know a scale. I do wish I would of gotten the other one with the more formed mouth piece. I am a sax and clarinet player. It does come with a book. I also watched several YouTube videos on this instrument. That may be the idea you might want to use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***H on 24 July 2015* Instrument à découvrir, transportable au son puissant pour sa taille. La justesse peut, comme un sax soprano, être dure à trouver. Très amusant. La livraison s'est faite très rapidement (1 semaine), malgré sa provenance éloignée. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***N on 15 June 2018* Brilliant invention. Very high-quality product. Made in USA. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on 23 January 2020* This is a beautiful instrument. It came in great condition for being used, exactly as described. It is very fun to play. The mouthpiece takes some practice to get a good sound, but it is fine once you get used to it. I would really recommend this to anyone who would like to try a new, affordable instrument. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Maui Xaphoon Pocket Sax - D’Addario Woodwinds - Rico Tenor Sax Reeds - Tenor Saxophone Reeds - Tenor Reeds Crafted for Beginners, Students, Educators - Strength 2.5, 3-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/270096926-maui-xaphoon-xaph-pocket-saxophone-black](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/270096926-maui-xaphoon-xaph-pocket-saxophone-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
