Wow, she is good on that Xaphoon! Very nice! And he is good on that guitar too!

Fantastic performance. I’d love to hear some more samba and bossa nova tunes played like this.

It's quite easy to find awful plays with Xaphoon and think it's not an instrument for professional players. Even that kind of toy-like instrument, however, can sound this deep and soulful. I love it. I finally see that Xaphoon is indeed a serious instrument.

Very true! Just becasue an instrument is small, doesn't mean that it's a toy. An ukulele is also small, but there are some very good professional players.

I've played tenor sax for 20+ years. I could make it sound like garbage, or make it sound amazing. Xaphoon is no different. Its all about how the instrument is played. I think the xaphoon has a unique awesome tone. And much more convenient to carry.

It is a real Xaphoon®. There is only one brand of Xaphoon®. Actually, Xaphoon® IS the brand name, it is not a generic word. Therefore, it should be written with a capital letter. And the name should not be used to refer to cheap Asian copies. Because the copies are not Xaphoons®.

@UkuleleMania1

Probably you are not putting your top teeth firmly on the top of the mouthpiece. If you do not bite the yop of the mouthpiece, your lower lip cannot apply the correct pressure on the reed. If the reed is too open, you will use too much air. Also, without the teeth on top, the lip opressure will be unstable. Xaphoon is the opposite of recorder (block flute) which does not use the teeth. Xaphoon, you MUST use your teeth. BTW, are you from Iceland?
