Exceptionally Inspiring!
The Classic Cantabile pocket saxophone is a charming, handy wind instrument that sounds like a blend of saxophone and clarinet.
Weighing just 177 g, this compact pocket saxophone—as the name suggests—can be taken anywhere with ease. Nothing stands in the way of spontaneous playing in the park, pedestrian zones, traffic jams on the highway, or of course, classic stage performances!
To play the Classic Cantabile X-20, a Bb clarinet reed with a French cut is used! The notes are fingered like the German fingering of a soprano recorder.
By the way, it was a Hawaiian who invented this interesting instrument in the 1970s. The X-20, as a woodwind instrument, is especially suitable for beginners because it is relatively easy to play. The fingering technique resembles that of a flute. Depending on the blowing technique, the pocket saxophone’s tone can vary from "delicate" to "full and rich." The Classic Cantabile X-20 comes with a practical case.
The pocket saxophone is incredibly versatile: from blues to rock to jazz, it covers it all!

The perforations sit well in the hand.
The response is good.
What bothers me is that the mouthpiece is not tight enough.
If you pay a little attention you can play well with it.
The price is very good.

Questions about product
Question by Christine Rödel on 16.04.2020
Hello, in the next price segment there is an instrument - the Clarineau - that looks very similar. It says that it would be playable in another octave for advanced players. Does this also apply to the pocket saxophone? And how do the sounds of the two instruments differ? Christine Rödel is looking forward to an answer
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
In principle, it is possible to overblow the instrument, but it is technically difficult. This is somewhat easier with the Clarineau with overblowing key. Tonally, the Kunath instrument is fuller and also somewhat easier to play. This is mainly due to the good mouthpiece that comes with it. But you can also equip the X-20 with another mouthpiece and achieve the same effect.
