Create Moments of Joy! This challenge is yours.
Take the challenge... run with it!
One line of music, flowing like a river,
can change the course of someone else's day.
One smile, one breath of sunshine... Yes!
And here's one way you can do it...
Dream a moment... You're playing a unique instrument.
A cool sound is coming out. People turn and look.
Magic... like magic... smiles are born...
you share the moment... yeah!
What is it?
The actual name is Xaphoon (The Pocket Sax), but I call it...
And there's a mascot?
Yes! His name is "Phoon Dude."
Tell me about the instrument.
It has a two octave range... even plays chromatics.
It plays best in keys close to C (C, G, F, Dm, Am, Em).
It comes with the cap, ligature, one tenor sax reed, and instructions.
The instructions are well-written.
What does it sound like?
The sound is somewhere between a saxophone and a clarinet.
Here's a sample -
Oifn Pripetshek (Yiddish Folk Song) (335 kb)
Does it sound good?
It depends how long you've been playing, but the answers are...
1 - Now... how do you play this thing?
2 - Did you hear that? I made a sound.
3 - Hey, that's almost like an instrument.
4 - I'm starting to get this..... not bad at all.
5 - Whoever made this is a genius! I like it a lot!
6 - Sounds good. Where did you get it, and what is it?
7 - That is definitely a Cool Little Sax! Keep on playing!
