SAX of WOOD

This instrument of modern invention is also known as Andean Saxophone sax or cane, bamboo or wood, is built around 3 to 6 pieces of wood or bamboo with different diameters and joined each other in events inside and outside, finishing with flag of a pumpkin. Similar to the mouth of a saxophone metal rods allows the use of both high saxophones, tenor, soprano and clarinet. Their sound incredibly played the saxophone timbre of a metal. Are perfectly tuned and typing allows the execution of diatonic scales, pentatonic, blues, etc.. The range is about two octaves.

EVOLUTION OF OUR SAXOPHONES

 

Initially in 1989 we began building bamboo saxophones in 2 to 5 sections of different diameters which produce sounds very similar to the saxophone metal volume but a bit poor and unstable, the same building is difficult because of the inaccuracy between the diameters of bamboo.

Was made saxophones reproducing eighth perfectly in tune.

Subsequently, to achieve more stability in the sound and independent from the vagueness of the internal diameters of bamboo, a better pitch and volume, when we incur in making glazed ceramic nozzles adjustable largest pumpkin and add the flag in the saxophone for more volume.
 

So we got to the saxophonist WOOD:

SAX of WOOD, more powerful sound of the bamboo and sweeter. (two octaves of registration)

To investigate the acoustics of the materials we found that the use of wood instead of bamboo produce sounds rich in harmonics which are much closer to the sound of a saxophone in addition to cash and more volume, greater stability in the sound and the pitch and the ability to play two octaves perfectly in tune.

Investigated initially with different types of woods to find an interesting variety of hardwoods and not so heavy that we gave the main characteristics that we sought, the higher volume, sweeter sound, accurate sound, rich harmonics and ease of use .

We are making excellent wooden saxophones in four sections and assembled as a pumpkin flag, these saxes are decorated with pyrography and blowing techniques over the whole body of the instrument.

Tabs can be adapted (rod) for soprano saxophone, tenor and high reeds of clarinets and also very simple to assemble and disassemble it.

All saxes are provided with a protective case.

The dimensions are perfectly adaptable to the hands of any person or child who wishes to start saxophone, has 6 holes which were plugged front 3 and 3 with both hands and a single hole in the back that should be covered with the thumb, the latter is also the eighth hole.

The fingering is direct, ie, to form a musical scale, are uncovering, from the bottom up, one by one hole.

These saxophones are more tuned in A, if a cap all the holes produced and uncovers an all orifice

s produces another top of the eighth.
