サックスを少しだけ経験していたので、リードの音はすぐ出せたのですが、実際の演奏になると練習が必要で少しだけ難しいですね。でも、その「少しだけ難しい」というのはちょうどいい感じです。 リードなので、口使いが難しいのは承知してたのですが、指使いが意外と難しかったです。リコーダーのようなものと思ってましたが、穴の位置が決して掴みやすいところにあるわけでないので、油断すると隙間ができてしまったりと、結構練習が必要になります。 音は小さいクラリネットやサックスのような感じで心地いいです。 もっと練習してい思い通りに吹けるようになれたらなと思います。

サイズに似合わず深みのある良い音は出るのですが、いかんせんピッチが非常に不安定で、しっかり穴を押さえていてもほんのちょっとの角度や力の入れ具合で容易にピッチがブレてしまいます。 楽しく演奏するまでにかなりの練習が必要になりそうです。

アルトサックス経験者なので、音を出すだけならわりとすぐにできるのではないかと思っていましたが、いや~…実際に吹いてみたら全然出ませんでした(汗) 少し練習したら、かろうじて音は出るようになりましたが、指使いがまだ慣れません。 リコーダーより一つ穴が多く、右手親指以外の全部の指で完全に穴を塞ぐのがなかなか難しいです。 今後の練習次第という感じですね!! 吹けば吹くほど面白みのあるユニークな楽器で、良い音ですし、コンパクトなのでどこにでも一緒に行けるのが嬉しいです!この楽器をマスターすれば、リード楽器は怖いもの知らずかも…!大切にします。

私はアルトサックスとクラリネットを扱っています。最初にマウスを咥えて驚いたことですがサックスやクラリネットのマウスと全く違っていました。 先端の部分の厚みが倍以上あることに驚きましたと同時相当深く咥えないと音が出ません。アンブシュアが全く違うのです。付属のリードは意外に良い物が付いてきました。それと辛かったことは指位置が左手の人差し指と薬指との間隔が広く押さえるのが辛いです。何とか右手指も押さえてドの音が出るようにはなったものの、オクターブ上の音には未だほど遠しと云ったところで豪い買い物になりましたよ。音は全部押さえたら低音の良い響き音になりますが、何せ肝心の右人差し指が落ち着かず完全な音の響きがしません。製品は悪い物ではありません。ただ私の練習不足に寄るものだと思います、気軽に選ばない方がいいですよ。

購入して少なくとも10年以上は経っていると思いますが現在も飽きずに吹いてます。 1オクターブ半位の音域ですが、他(ケーナ、ハーモニカ、オカリナ)の楽器とも音色が異なり飽きずにやってます。

やっと音が出るようになりました。youtubeを見たりしながら練習してます。飽きずに続けて、バッハの「G線上のアリア」まで到達してみたいと思ってます。期待以上の良い音色です。

吹きにくいに加え、指のピッチが、日本人に会わない。 指が痛くなり、即処分。 音が単調で深みもなく、音域せまく、大人には、使い物にならない。 値段が高く、これなら、1万円の中国製クラリネットの方をお勧め。

Instrument à découvrir, transportable au son puissant pour sa taille. La justesse peut, comme un sax soprano, être dure à trouver. Très amusant. La livraison s'est faite très rapidement (1 semaine), malgré sa provenance éloignée.

This is a beautiful instrument. It came in great condition for being used, exactly as described. It is very fun to play. The mouthpiece takes some practice to get a good sound, but it is fine once you get used to it. I would really recommend this to anyone who would like to try a new, affordable instrument.

Update: I've had my Xaphoon for 2 months now. Still love it. Just finished my quest for the perfect reed. I started with 2 1/2 strength cane reeds. The good ones sounded great, but...2 out of 4 were not so so good. I think a lot of the fun of this instrument is being able to just pick it up and play. With the cane reeds, there is a lot of taking the reed of and on to wet it to play and dry it after playing. Plus they don't last very long and you have to buy a bunch to find some good ones. So I thought a synthetic read would be the ticket. I got a Fibercell 1 1/2 strength. I went to the 1 1/2 since the 2 1/2 takes work and some facial muscles to play I thought why not go softer ? That turned out to be a mistake. The sound became very kazoo like and it was impossible to get the high notes. So then I ordered a Fibercell 2 1/2. They sent an Alto reed, I returned it and they replaced it with...another Alto reed. After the second try Amazon gave me a credit and I bought a Bari soft.reed. Turns out this is the end of my quest. The Bari plays great. I think it is a little easier to play than a 2 1/2 cane reed, sounds really good, and it's very easy to get the highest notes. And I can leave it in place. And it will last a long time. I am now one happy Xaphoonist. I love my Xaphoon. I have had it a little more than 2 weeks and was able to play a scale (with help from the book) the first time I picked it up. Since then I have been learning the fingering for flats and sharps, which is odd in places, and have also made strides in getting a good tone. I played clarinet long ago so knew how the reed works but it probably helped that I haven't played lately so I did not try to use the mouthpiece the way you would with a clarinet or sax. It is definitely different. The sound is amazing for the size of the thing which I attribute to the big reed and the shape of the mouthpiece. DO NOT leave the reed in place between sessions. I started out doing that so that I could just pick it up and play. When I did take it off there was stuff starting to grow on the back of the reed. Ewww. After looking up some information on how to take care of the reed I have started taking it off and dipping it in a small jar of 50% peroxide and water after playing. I also play guitar and figured out that I can clip my "Snark" at the bottom of the barrel to check the pitch when I am playing so that I get used to playing in key. The pitch can change pretty easily by mouth and air pressure which is great for vibrato and bending notes but playing with others will require I can stay on pitch most of the time. This is definitely a real musical instrument that requires patience and practice like any other instrument. I think the negative reviews come from folks who thought they would be able to just pick it up and jam and are disappointed that there is work involved.
