Xaphoon Maui C

Handmade by Xaphoon inventor Brian Wittman, the Bamboo Sax is created fresh from the rainforests of Maui, Hawaii and toasted over a fire to achieve its burnt finish. It boasts a full two octaves with a fully chromatic scale. Comes with an 8-page hand-calligraphed instruction guide.

We recommend the C XAPHOON especially for playing with string and keyboard instruments, C or F flute. The C instruments are slightly shorter than the B Xaphoons, which is an advantage for smaller hands.

Like the material, bamboo, the MAUI XAPHOON is more individual than the CLASSIC XAPHOON, i.e. the tuning is the same but the tone colours are slightly different. Sometimes they tend more towards the clarinet and sometimes more towards the saxophone. The sound is more natural, perhaps a little warmer than that of the CLASSIC XAPHOON.
