Value For Money :
Excellent
For how long have you been using it?
I use this instrument for 1 week only, but I have experience on the saxophone.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I have not tested models in bamboo, it seems that the sound is close but we "better" maintain its instrument (mold). There is also the model in Bb and G, so I have not tested, it appears that the G has good bass but the fingering is more removed (unsurprisingly)
What thing do you like most/least about it?
That's why I bought a nice sound between the clarinet and soprano sax, and the instrument is portable I play the tenor at the base and I can not take it wherever I want. The xaphoon is the instrument that brings on vacation to play without wearing 15 kg of gear at 2500 €. The biggest worry however is fingered twisted to the sharps and flats. The instrument is chromatic "on paper", beyond 2 or # 2 flats in the key it is getting very hard, and certain combinations are impossible. The other defect is that you have to work the accuracy of the notes, roughly in proportion to the saxophone xaphoon is false, there are some notes that are too high or too low so it must correct all the time with the mouth .
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Well, for 90 € you play an instrument, on the other hand it seems difficult to make music professionally with xaphoon, but this is not the goal.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes, i like to play in the office, on vacation, too bad a little piece of plastic that sends sound like this is very good
