Xaphoon Maui C 5-stars Reviews

Great Travel instrument

This Xaphoon is an absolute joy First of all being wood is just has a nice feel to the hands. Feels handmade and looks great. It is surprisingly loud. I acquired it as a practice instrument for my room but is has a bright loud sound for the outdoors. Its great for jamming with other musicians pretty solid tuning It might be the reed but it takes a bit of strength to create a solid sound Conclusion: Very portable, good for jamming and traveling. It's loud enough so not for practicing in your room at night

fun to play

it's a nice instrument. it takes some time to be able to play if you haven t played any reed instrument before but after it is satisfying. the only con that i have is about the difficulties of reaching the higher notes on the second octave.

The sound is wonderful!

when it came out of the box, it still smelled like fire (it's made by burning the holes) which gave a really authentic feeling. i liked that!

The notes are not 100% in tune but with a little adjustments of your mouth it is doable

Why not?

So I saw it and thought...why not. Some much richer sounds emerge from the end of this little thing that you would credit - if you can manage it. Takes quite a bit of puff - more say than a sax, so not for the weak lungged. Also more control required on the reed pressure to get the full range of notes. Very nice quality and feel and you can still smell the hot poker that burned the fingerholes! Small, portable, versatile but challenging. Should you get one? Why not?
