Opening the door to music for everyone
At Odisei Music, we believe music should be for everyone. It’s more than just sound, it’s connection, creativity, and expression. But for many musicians, especially those with limited mobility or physical disabilities, traditional instruments can present real challenges. That’s why we started working on something new: Adaptive Travel Instruments that make playing music accessible to all.
A night of art and inclusion at Teatro Real
During the SuperArte Gala, organized by Fundación Grupo SIFU at the historic Teatro Real in Madrid, music and diversity shared the same stage. The gala celebrates the power of art as a tool for inclusion, showcasing talented artists with and without disabilities.
In this inspiring setting, Mario Peña performed live with the Travel Sax Adaptive, demonstrating how technology can break barriers and create new opportunities for musical expression. His performance highlighted how accessible instruments can empower musicians to keep playing and creating, no matter their physical limitations.
Presenting the Travel Sax 2 Adaptive at the CEDDD Conference
A few days later, we had the opportunity to present the Travel Sax 2 Adaptive during the CEDDD Inclusion Conference (Jornadas CEDDD), also held in Madrid. This event brought together professionals, educators, and advocates dedicated to improving accessibility in all aspects of society, including music.
Sharing the Adaptive version of the Travel Sax in this context was a meaningful moment for us. It allowed us to show how inclusive music technology can truly change lives, giving more people the ability to enjoy the experience of playing a wind instrument: Freely, comfortably, and creatively.
Traditional wind instruments are beautiful, but they also require precise finger positions, breath control, and posture. For some musicians, this can make it difficult (or even impossible) to play the instrument they love. Our mission with adaptive technology is to remove those barriers and make sure everyone has the chance to create, practice, and express themselves through music.
En Travel Sax Adaptive is our first step in that direction, a redesigned version of the Travel Sax that makes it easier for people with physical limitations to play. It can be customized and adapted to different needs, ensuring that players who might struggle with a standard saxophone can still enjoy the same musical experience. The instrument preserves the essence of the sax; expressive control, digital flexibility, and the joy of performance. But makes it accessible to more musicians than ever.
Adaptive design, portable freedom
We wanted to combine portability, inclusivity, and innovation in one instrument. Adaptive travel instruments are designed to fit different physical needs while maintaining the feeling of a real instrument. Whether it’s adjustable key positions, sensitivity settings, or customizable control layouts, the goal is always the same: make music creation easier, more personal, and more inclusive.
And because it’s a travel instrument, it offers total freedom: Play anywhere, anytime, and without disturbing anyone. From silent practice at home to experimenting with MIDI sounds in your favorite DAW, adaptive travel instruments open new creative spaces for musicians everywhere.
At its heart, the Travel Sax Adaptive is both a musical instrument and a tool for empowerment. With features like:
- Zero-latency breath control for natural sound response
- Fully customizable fingering layouts for users with limited hand mobility
- Bluetooth and USB MIDI connectivity for digital music creation
- Built-in sound bank with 50+ instruments
- Silent practice mode through headphone output
La familia del clarinete moderno
En Travel Sax Adaptive is just the beginning. At Odisei Music, our vision for adaptive travel instruments goes far beyond the saxophone. As we continue to innovate, we’re exploring new ways to make other instruments (like the clarinet) more portable, accessible, and expressive. Our long term goal is to bring the same inclusive spirit that inspired the Travel Sax Adaptive to a wider range of instruments, so even more musicians can experience the freedom of playing anywhere, anytime.
Music connects people. It crosses barriers and speaks where words fall short. With adaptive travel instruments, we’re not just building new tools, we’re building a more inclusive musical future.
“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”
- B.B. King
At Odisei Music, we’ll continue to push boundaries, listen to musicians’ needs, and make sure everyone (no matter their ability) can experience the joy of playing. Because innovation means nothing if it doesn’t include everyone.
