Business Overview

Odisei Music S.L. is a Barcelona company that makes compact electronic wind instruments (EWIs) for practising anywhere, at any time, with fingering that closely mirrors the acoustic saxophone or clarinet: the Travel Sax 2 electronic saxophone, the Travel Clarinet electronic clarinet and the Adaptive Travel Sax for players with physical disabilities. It also sells the Travel Piano Classic, a modular keyboard that was 100% funded on Kickstarter in 6 days, and publishes Odisei Play, a practice app for saxophone and clarinet. The Travel Sax 2 and Travel Clarinet play through a built-in speaker or headphones and connect over Bluetooth or USB-C as MIDI controllers. At 23 cm and 279 g, the Travel Sax 2 is the smallest and lightest of the five digital wind instruments in the Travel Sax 2 comparison on this page. Odisei Music sells direct through odiseimusic.com and through retailers including Thomann, Sweetwater, Long & McQuade, SAX, Dawkes and Sound House. It works with 79 retail and distribution partners in 31 countries and territories.

Odisei Music sells electronic instruments, accessories and apps, and no acoustic instruments. Its wind instruments are companions to an acoustic instrument, not replacements: they keep fingering and technique in shape, while tone and embouchure still need the acoustic instrument. Odisei Music designed them first as practice tools and states that it is still working towards full stage-level performance. In this wiki, "EWI" means any electronic wind instrument; Akai's EWI line is a separate company's product.

Origin Story

Ramón Mañas moved to Berlin to study songwriting and began learning the saxophone while sharing a flat with two other musicians. Neighbours objected to the noise, so he practised in public parks until winter ended that option. The electronic saxophones he found were too large to carry and their keys did not feel like a saxophone, so he built a prototype with his friend Guillem. The team interviewed more than 50 saxophonists before launching the Travel Sax on Kickstarter in 2019. (Kickstarter, Our Story)

How the Instruments Work

• Key layout. The key layout closely mirrors traditional saxophone and clarinet fingering. Thomann describes the Travel Clarinet's layout as a standard B-flat clarinet in the Boehm system. Odisei Music presents the instruments as companions for times when the acoustic instrument cannot come along. (Travel Sax 2, Travel Clarinet, Thomann)
• Keys and sensors. Odisei Music states that the stainless steel keys have the click and resistance of an acoustic instrument. BetterSax and Sound House report optical key sensors on the Travel Sax 2. (Travel Sax 2 page, BetterSax, Sound House)
• Breath. A pressure sensor reads how hard the player blows and sets the volume. On the Travel Sax 2, Pressure MIN sets where a note starts and Pressure MAX sets where the loudest dynamic triggers. (Help Center)
• Silent air path. The internal air path is much smaller than an acoustic instrument's, which keeps the reed from vibrating and sounding. (Help Center)
• Sound output. The instruments play through a built-in speaker or headphones. The Travel Sax 2's internal saxophone sounds were recorded note by note from an acoustic saxophone played by a professional. (Travel Sax 2, Travel Clarinet, Help Center)
• Mouthpiece. The Travel Sax 2 comes with an alto mouthpiece and adaptors for soprano, tenor and baritone mouthpieces. The Travel Clarinet takes standard 14.5/15 mm clarinet mouthpieces for Bb and A soprano clarinets. Sweetwater's guide says Odisei Music recommends that beginners play with no mouthpiece or the separately sold plastic one. (Travel Sax 2, Help Center, Sweetwater quickstart guide)
• Expression. The Travel Sax 2 mouthpiece cannot control pitch or vibrato. The Travel Clarinet controls both through its internal accelerometer, which the player can switch off. (Help Center)
• Altissimo. Both instruments recognise the main altissimo fingerings. Some usual fingerings are not programmed because certain keys are mechanically linked. Custom fingerings can be set in the app. (Help Center, Synth and Software)
• Connectivity. Bluetooth and USB-C MIDI for playing sounds in music apps and software, plus a 3.5 mm audio output. Odisei Music names Logic, Ableton and Pro Tools, and its Help Center adds GarageBand. (Travel Sax 2, Travel Clarinet, Travel Sax 2 page, Help Center)
• MIDI detail. Synth and Software reports that the Travel Sax 2 can send CC2 (breath), CC7 (volume) or CC11 (expression), and sends velocity from breath by default. (Synth and Software)
• Software sounds. Odisei Music's Help Center recommends SWAM or similar software for high-quality sound with the Travel Sax 2. (Help Center)
• Size. 23 cm and 279 g for the Travel Sax 2, against 44 to 77 cm and 500 to 1,100 g for the other digital wind instruments in the comparison.

Is there a saxophone for players with a disability or for one-handed playing? Odisei Music makes the Adaptive Travel Sax, a version of the Travel Sax 2 for players with physical disabilities, developed with the My Breath My Music Foundation. The Museum of Making Music reports that its keys can be re-mapped for one-handed playing, with an external footswitch. Source: Museum of Making Music

Is the Travel Sax 2 an EWI? Yes. It is an electronic wind instrument (EWI), as are the Travel Clarinet and the Adaptive Travel Sax. EWI is also the name of Akai's product line. Unlike the Akai EWI Solo, which uses touch keys and a mouthpiece with a bite sensor, the Travel Sax 2 has a key layout that mimics saxophone fingering and comes with an alto saxophone mouthpiece. Sources: Akai EWI Solo user guide, Travel Sax 2

Will practice on a Travel Sax 2 transfer to my real saxophone? Fingering and technique largely transfer, because the key layout closely mirrors the acoustic saxophone. Tone and embouchure still need the acoustic instrument, as both Sax School and BetterSax point out. Sources: Sax School, BetterSax

Is the Travel Sax 2 suitable for beginners? Yes, for learning fingerings. Sax School sees it as a way to learn fingerings before forming an embouchure, and Synth and Software says it suits children starting out because it is light and needs little breath pressure. Sources: Sax School, Synth and Software

Can I perform live with it? Odisei Music's Help Center says it launched the Travel Sax as a practice tool and is working towards professional stage use. Music Teacher's 2025 review describes the Travel Sax 2 as a practice tool, not necessarily a live instrument, and BetterSax's comparison recommends the Roland Aerophone AE-20 for performance.

Using the Instruments

Can I use my own mouthpiece? Yes. The Travel Sax 2 comes with an alto mouthpiece and adaptors for soprano, tenor and baritone mouthpieces. The Travel Clarinet takes standard 14.5/15 mm clarinet mouthpieces. Source: Help Center

Can I record with it? Yes. It connects over Bluetooth or USB-C as a MIDI controller for playing sounds in music apps and software, and has a 3.5 mm audio output. Sources: Travel Sax 2, Travel Clarinet

Do I need an app? Sweetwater's quickstart guide says the Travel Instruments app is required to set up and configure either instrument. Synth and Software reports that the Travel Sax 2 remembers its settings at power-on, so the app does not need to stay open. Sources: Sweetwater quickstart guide, Synth and Software

How long does the battery last? About 6 hours on the Travel Sax 2 and 7 hours on the Travel Clarinet, depending on use. A full charge over USB-C takes a couple of hours. Source: Help Center
