---Bamboo Saxophone---

Sax Key
                      This  bamboo sax is ideal for those who may want  to learn sax , clarinet or other reed instruments or for those who want to travel without the hassles of a larger instrument . Like all my flutes these are made from the highly reliable and durable  Aurea bamboo .
                       I use an alto saxophone mouthpiece that makes for easy playing once the vibrating reed  technique is mastered. These bamboo saxophones have 7  holes , 6 in the front and a thumb hole.                                Well tuned in the usual diatonic scale . An alto sax reed seems to work best and I will send you a couple of spare reeds with your bamboo sax.  Replacement reeds can be bought cheaply online  or  at music stores.
                       The first hole of the bamboo sax is usually played with the little finger and is offset for right hand on the lower part of the sax .    Please contact me if you want one for the left hand on the lower part of the flute .
                      I make them in three  keys from Bb , G , and E major . With the B flat the highest and  E the deepest key. 
                    The metal tube connecting the mouthpiece to the bamboo may come is usually chrome plated tin or stainless steel.
 You can choose from the keys of  E,   G  or Bb on the drop down menu on the buy flute page .
 Contact me if a different key is required .
