Xaphoon Maui Bb

The XAPHOON a new sound! The Xaphoon is becoming increasingly popular and is well on the way to establishing itself as an instrument in its own right, appreciated by beginners and professionals alike. In German-speaking countries alone, the Xaphoon has already sold more than 19,000 units, and around 100,000 instruments have been sold worldwide. In recent years, areas have crystallized in which the Xaphoon finds particular use:

• It is an instrument that is easy to take with you - whether on vacation, on a trip or around the campfire, as it is handy and lightweight.
• Beginners and those changing to a reed instrument will find that it is simple to set up and relatively easy to blow with an open, wider mouthpiece. In terms of sound, it quickly becomes interesting even for beginners and, with its 2 octaves and chromatic playability, is not just a practice instrument.
• It is often used in concert and in ensemble playing with acoustic instruments such as plucked and string instruments, the vibraphone or the voice. The addition of sound with the piano is particularly interesting.
• The xaphoom is used for making music with children as it is relatively easy to blow on for a reed instrument. The entire lower octave can still be played without teeth on the mouthpiece and less pressure is required to blow than with a clarinet mouthpiece, for example. It is an inexpensive purchase for parents and the lack of mechanics means that hardly anything can break.
• Above all, however, the sonorous, soft sound has already fascinated many, which is not expected from such a small instrument.
