Watch It in Action
Played Around the World
Saxophonists use the Travel Sax 2 to keep practising when their saxophone has to stay in its case. Here is what they say.
Before the travel sax 2 I was maybe able to practice the saxophone an hour a week tops, but since I have it I practice pretty much every day, which helps tremendously with retention and building muscle memory while playing the saxophone.
I just got my Travel Sax a few days ago and bought it mainly so I could practice while traveling. What I didn’t expect is that I’m actually practicing much more at home as well, simply because it’s always on my desk.
I was reluctant to buy the travelsax 2 because I thought it might be an expensive toy . However I’ve used it loads . … If I broke this one I’d buy another.
While it is not a real saxophone and the key action is not that great, it is an invaluable practice tool. I can learn patterns and licks much easier now because I can play them anytime I’m at home, as opposed to only during daylight hours
I can now practice without worrying about family and neighbours. I've done more in the past couple of months than I had in the previous two years…
I love my Travel Sax 2 but my family and neighbours love it even more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it sound like my saxophone?
No, and it isn't meant to. The air path inside is much smaller than a saxophone's, so the reed doesn't vibrate: the sound is made electronically, and you hear it in headphones or through the built-in speaker. The app has alto, tenor and soprano sounds, recorded note by note from an acoustic saxophone played by a professional saxophonist.
What the Travel Sax 2 keeps is your fingers, your air and your timing, at hours and in places where your saxophone stays in its case. It is a practice tool; tone and embouchure work still need your real instrument.
Can I use my own mouthpiece?
Yes. It takes a standard alto mouthpiece, and three adaptors in the box let you use a soprano, tenor or baritone mouthpiece instead.
Will my fingerings work, altissimo included?
The range is a normal saxophone's, B-flat 3 to F-sharp 6, and the main altissimo fingerings are programmed, so you can work on the high register in peace. Some usual fingerings in that range are not, because some keys are mechanically linked and move together.
How do I control the volume?
A pressure sensor reads how hard you blow and sets the volume instantly. In the app you set the minimum pressure that starts a note and the pressure that gives the loudest dynamic. The mouthpiece does not control pitch or vibrato yet.
Can I use it with my computer?
Yes. It is also a MIDI controller: 0 ms latency over USB-C, 8 to 10 ms over Bluetooth. Use it with GarageBand, Ableton Live, Logic or any other DAW, and with other instrument sounds.
How long does the battery last?
About 6 hours of play, depending on how intensely you use it, and a couple of hours for a full charge over USB-C. Turn Bluetooth off when you don't need it: it uses a lot of energy.
When will it arrive, and can I return it?
It ships in 24 to 48 hours, and shipping is free.
From the day it arrives you have 14 calendar days to change your mind, for any reason: contact us first and we will arrange the return. If it is defective we cover the return shipping. For a change of mind, return shipping depends on your country and may be deducted from your refund; we tell you the exact cost before you commit. Refund Policy
