It has a cylindrical bore, a slightly flared bell, and uses a tenor saxophone reed.
At approximately 30-34 cm in length, it produces a warm, rich sound similar to a clarinet or saxophone, suitable for genres such as jazz, klezmer, and world music.
It has nine tone holes and a two-octave range.
Originally made of bamboo, it is now also made of durable ABS plastic.
The Xaphoon is portable, affordable, and accessible to both beginners and advanced players, but requires practice due to its unique fingering.
