Xaphoon

Xaphoon is a registered trademark (Trade Name – Hawaii File Number 116995D1,Trade Mark – Hawaii File Number 50914ZZ), owned by Brian Wittman under the Hawaii-based sole-proprietorship "Maui Xaphoon," and is used for a particular design of a single-reed keyless woodwind instrument (Wind Instrument – US Patent D262035). The design resulted from a spontaneous effort by Wittman (a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist) beginning in 1972 to create an instrument for a young child who liked the sound of the saxophone.
