Xaphoon

I haven't seen a discussion on this instrument anywhere else on this forum, but I am considering buying one.

I have limited experience with reed instruments, but I am willing to learn. Has anybody here ever played one and can anybody supply the pros and cons?

It sounds really good to me, and it's unique. Sounds a lot like a clarinet/tenor sax/ with a little soprano.

Similar to a recorder in fingerings (Almost) so I shouldn't have many problems learning it.

For those who don't know what it is, here are some links:

Xaphoon - The Maui Xaphoon (Bamboo Sax or Bamboo Flute)

Anybody?

Certainly somebody here has played one.

hola,

my bro has one,

he seemed to get used to it quite quikly,

but doesn't play it anymore,

so ah,,yea, i think it a nice instrument, sounds very much like sax,
