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 N***G on May 6, 2016* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***W on February 6, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on February 7, 2019* ## 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.co.uk/products/2220136-the-maui-xaphoon-pocket-sax](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2220136-the-maui-xaphoon-pocket-sax) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
