Xaphoon
The Xaphoon is a keyless wind instrument, very similar to the European chalumeau, which was the predecessor of the clarinet. Its sound is between that of the clarinet and that of the saxophone. Given its size, it is very easy to transport. Take a tenor sax reed and get two full octaves. The original, or Xaphoon Maui, that is made in Hawaii is bamboo. It can be achieved in the keys of C, B and G. A plastic model is also made, in this case only in the key of C. The bamboo one has a warmer sound, but the plastic one is more practical in the sense that it is invariable to climatic changes and much harder against shocks. In any case, an instrument that can be used a lot, with a very particular sound.
