Pocket Saxophone
"Is that a ...?" — don't go there.
At least, not unless you have Flautist chaperoning you.
From the website:
- Pocket Saxophone
This pocket woodwind is the size of a standard recorder, yet plays a two-octave chromatic scale with the same intonation as a tenor saxophone.
Designed by the same artisans who originally handcrafted them from bamboo stalks cut from rainforest groves in Eastern Maui, this version produces a sound that precisely matches the original's unique rich, deep sound and vibrant power.
The large round mouthpiece is fitted with a solid brass ligature and a #2-1/2-strength tenor saxophone reed.
The instrument is tuned to C and plays two octaves lower than conventional flutes of the same size, nearer to a clarinet.
Small enough to fit in a backpack or purse, the pocket sax is made from durable injection-molded ABS plastic.
13"L x 1-1/2"Ø.
Weight: 3 oz.
