Metafilter pointed me at Xaphoon – The Maui Xaphoon (Bamboo Sax or Bamboo Flute), another website with an unusual music instrument. This is cute because it’s a very small, portable instrument with a terrific sound which closely approximates a full saxophone.

They make a $60 injection molded ABS version which is called The Pocket Sax. While searching for a dealer, I found this page which gave interesting background on how they actually designed and manufactured these mass produced instruments. Cool!
