Lowest note is C and plays through two octives with chromatic fingerings.
This is a keyless, 9 hole (8 fingers and thumb) reeded instrument. It plays pretty loud. I am not a reed player and I was able to get a basic one octive scale out of it once the reed was adjusted by my wife. I bought this instrument for her, but she decided she wanted a clarinet, so I got her one.
Makes a great smokey smell when played. 
Asking what I paid for it: $85 plus shipping. I would also be open to certain trades.
This is the one you had a the last get-together? The one that Aldon tried out?
Must . . . resist . . . buying. Itās very tempting - in Aldonās hands, it sounded remarkably saxophone-like, and had a very saxophone-like volume. A lot of instrument for the money.
Yes, it is the exact same one. He really got a great sound out of it once he got the reed adjusted, and it had less than perfect reed as well!!!
As a matter of fact, I will include the shipping in the $85 to make up for the new reed that would be needed, same as a tenor sax would take.
Steven, check your PMs.

Itās mine! Mine I tell ya! Bwaaa haaa haaa, all mine! 
Kenny G?
Wow. When I got my bamboo Maui Xaphoon they cost half thatā¦ wellā¦ less than half that!
My guess is that itās some character name of Johnā¦possibly with Gen-brass issues?
Yep, that would be me. Now keep yer dirty covetous thoughts offen my new toy!
Hopefully the Xaphoon will turn out better than the tenor sax I tried a few years ago. Do you know how many keys a (&^ sax has?! Way more than I have fingers and thumbs! 
Plus, a tenor sax is loud - about the only thing I ever did successfully on it was a pretty darned good impression of a flatulent elephant. I finally gave it to a guy who could actually play the darn thing.
John,
Just thought Iād toss this in. Reeds for sax vary greatly in quality both between and within brands, with some brands having much greater consistency than others. Thereās also a question of reed strength to consider. (This, not knowing what your knowledge is regarding reeds.) If you want more information / opinions than you can possibly digest, try http://saxontheweb.myforums.net/viewforum.php?f=29
Uh, how hard is it to pick up the fingering to where you can play reels and jigs fast? The fingering looks funky. Does it jump up a 12th insted of an octave, like a clarinet more or less?
Thanks for the info and link, Jim. That was the only reed instrument I ever tried. I was using fairly soft (1-1/2 if I remember right) reeds and I did eventually get to the point where I could run a halfway decent scale but I never did figure out how to play it softly. We had a young guy in our church who was quite talented so I gave it to him so at least I could hear it played well once in a while
I think I might have been all right with an alto sax but the tenor was big, heavy, and, oh, did I mention that it was loudā¦
For those still interested, the Xaphoon people make a plastic version that costās about half the price of the bamboo ones and plays exactly the same. I can only get one good octave, but itās much fun.
Octave. But itās as hard to blow as a clarinetā¦
I wonder if itās not due to a very closed mouthpiece. Pity one canāt adapt a standard mpc. Though, you could probably do it, by guillotining the Xaphoon, fitting an adapter tube.
Else, maybe a professional sax mouthpiece ātweakerā could shave some of the stock mouthpiece opening. And maybe fill some of its unusual, huge, chamber.
