I was at a huge indoor market 20 years ago in London and heard a guy playing some stunning jazz on one of these, they've been stuck in my head since then. I think this is gonna be the video that gets me to pull the trigger on one of these things. I've been looking at the fingering chart and it looks like you hit a c#, are these chromatics easy to do? Really good video
Good to hear that you like the instrument! Me too:) chromatic tones are difficult sometimes, especially the tuning. You need to know the right lip pressure for every note and that takes some practice. But overall it’s very nice to play around with this instrument. Good luck!!
Someone gave it to me but here's a link for you: www.thomann.de/nl/xaphoon_del_maui_xaphoon_c.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAtt2tBhBDEiwALZuhAGAEwzlHeQ-o1UIOBxVcndhjp1PFGlFubVaHoIqptgI4Do_IdRojUxoCwEEQAvD_BwE
Hi, my xaphoon its tuned in C but doesnt sound like yours, When blowing it is out of tune and other times it sounds good, im new, i can play the 1,2 and 3 high tones, but in the low tones It is out of tune and sounds high at times 🥺 what can i do?
Okay. It’s hard to tell for me. Sometimes it’s the reed. It shouldn’t be too heavy and not too light, but that’s personal preference and you just have to experiment with it. It also depends how much pressure you give on the reed. Every note needs a different pressure to get it in tune. At Last, It can also be your instrument. Hope this helps
Newbie here too. Heard on another channel to play one single note... Hold it as long as you can and while doing so... Experiment with the issue on the mouthpiece/ reed/ fingers/ how far in and out of your mouth it is etc. Until you are happy with how best to get the sound you want
