You should be the official xaphoon demonstrator!

Nice. Do you by any chance have any material in the 2nd octave? The 2nd octave so far remains only a theory for me. I can get about 3 clean notes in the higher octave, but that's it.

Thanks for any info.

@george700dl Many Xaphoon players ask about the octave, and I've been meaning to do a lesson on that for the past few months. (I've also been behind on answering my YouTube comments for a few months... sorry!) I actually don't use the overtones on a Xaphoon much, as the lower (pure) tones sound richer, as they do on a sax or clarinet. I only use a couple of the higher notes when a song call for a high note or two.

What kind of reed do you use, xaphman1?

Thanks for a beautiful medley

[xaphman1]

@vincentvunguyen I use Rico 21/2 tenor sax reeds, the same kind that come on a new Xaphoon. Some beginners prefer a softer reed, and some sax and clarinet players prefer a harder reed. But I think the 2 1/2 reed gives the nicest tone on Pocket Sax.
