The Maui Xaphoon Bamboo Sax in D is a rare and distinctive handcrafted instrument designed by Xaphoon inventor Brian Wittman. Made from carefully selected bamboo grown in the rainforests of Maui, Hawaii, each saxophone is toasted over an open flame to achieve a rich, burnt finish that highlights the natural character of the wood. Because every piece of bamboo is unique, no two instruments are exactly the same, giving each one its own voice and style.
Pitched a whole tone higher than the standard C model, this bamboo saxophone produces a bright, expressive sound that cuts through with clarity. With a fully chromatic scale spanning two full octaves, the Maui Xaphoon Bamboo Sax in D offers versatility for genres ranging from folk and world music to jazz and experimental styles. Its resonant timbre makes it a favorite for players seeking something different from traditional woodwinds while keeping a compact, portable design.
This bamboo sax is not only lightweight and travel-friendly but also powerful enough to deliver an impressive tonal range. Each instrument includes an 8-page, hand-calligraphed instruction guide to help players explore scales, techniques, and performance tips.
The Maui Xaphoon Bamboo Sax in D is more than just a musical instrument—it’s a piece of Hawaiian artistry and innovation that invites players to experience music with a new voice.
