But this doesn’t answer the most important question, is it a didgeriphone or a saxodoo?
Saxophonist here, it’s professionally known as a saxoridoo.
The video is subtitled “Saxo-didge”.
I think it’s 100% a didgeridoo, but one that has been molded into a shape superficially resembling a saxophone.
As a longtime didg player, I can tell you that the thing that makes this absolutely worth every penny is not how light it is, the paint job, etc, but the fact that it can hit so many “hoot” notes (what they call “trumpets”), and that each hoot note is tuned to be in the same scale as the main drone.
Most didgeridoos have only one, or maybe two hoot notes, but I watched some other videos of these things being played, and I’m seeing four or five hoot notes, in addition to the main drone.
At that point, it’s starting to grow beyond the realm of wind percussion instrument, into something that can play melodies.

This just looks like a curved didgeridoo, am I missing the saxophone part? I don’t see a reed, or valves, or any brass. Curving an instrument isn’t a characteristically saxophone thing, it’s just a cumbersome instrument thing.
Are there valves in the middle where he rests his left hand, perhaps?
Well that’s a first for me, neat!
Meh, this feels like an ad.
Looks like a wonky 3d printing project.
I haven’t seen wimp.com in like a decade.

Lol so it’s nothing like a saxophone or a trumpet and is just a curved Didgeridoo. (Fuckin Australia, 10/10 coolest names for everything they name)
This was oddly satisfying to listen to!
Looks injection molded from plastic but costs $1500. Seems excessively priced.
Holy shit! Two instruments that make a grating, horrible sound combined!
