World Music Safari - The Bamboo Sax

Greetings from World Music Safari. In this episode we take a deep dive into the Bamboo Sax/Clarinet. This fun little woodwind plays surprisingly well for such a small and relatively simple instrument. This particular bamboo sax was made in Maui, Hawaii though I've seen different versions at local craft festivals and music shops. This one uses a single tenor sax reed and when played in one style really does sound like a clarinet, but then when I utilize a different style, this tiny clarinet sounds rather close to a Duduk which shouldn't come to much of shock since Duduk construction is rather similar. And best of all it's fairly easy to play, so I recommend getting one for fun. Who knows, maybe some savant can play a Michael Brecker solo on it after all.   / worldmusicsafari   https://worldmusicsafari.com #saxophone #sax #bamboosax #clarinet #bambooclarinet #duduk #worldmusicsafari #woodwind #internationalmusic #worldmusic #hawaii #maui #jazz #whenthesaintsgomarchingin #music #howtoplaythebamboosax #howtoplaythebamboosaxophone
