Product Description:





Rating: - Neat but with a learning curve
This is a neat little instrument. I just got mine yesterday so I'm not playing songs yet, but I am able to play low c to a with little trouble. The fingerings are similar to recorder until you get to bflat and b, then they change horribly. It will take some time. Still, any new instrument takes time to master. Once I get it, this will be another fun instrument to play. Well worth the money, and the time to get over the learning curve.

Adolph Sax, would approve, I think :) ... Read More

Rating: - very cool!!
I'm a music teacher, but have a background in vocal music. I've always wanted to play the sax, and when I saw this one, I just had to have it. It's quite easy to play out of the box, eventhough the reed takes a little getting used to. It's really a lot of fun!!!

Rating: - A wonderful instrument!
The reviewer who gave up on it after only 20 minutes did not give it enough of a chance. All serious musical instruments take quite a bit of time to learn to play and any serious musician is, even after decades of playing, essentially still learning.

The Pocket Sax and it's older sibling the Maui Xaphoon are serious musical instruments that deserve significant input of time in learning to play and reward you with endless hours of enjoyment and discovery.

Rating: - Interesting sound in a small package!
As a clarinet and recorder player for years, I was intrigued by this little horn. It took about 3 minutes to get the feel of the larger mouthpiece and saxophone reed. The instructions are very well written and do not downplay the need to experiment a bit with mouthpiece position and lip pressure. For those who had difficulty producing sound, and for those who have questions about previous negative reviews, the instructions make a clear point to be sure the reed is allowed to vibrate when blowing into ...
