Haxophone
By Ben Everard. Posted
This article was originally published as part of HackSpace magazine, which has since been incorporated into Raspberry Pi Official Magazine.
The Haxophone is an electronic take on the weird brass/woodwind chimera, the saxophone. Its maker, Javier Cardona, modestly reckons that it’ll never be a substitute for the sound of a saxophone, but it is a lot more portable, and is likely to be a hell of a lot cheaper than a decent sax. It’s also OSHWA- certified open-source hardware, so if it breaks, you can just 3D-print a replacement part.
The Haxophone is a Raspberry Pi HAT programmed in Rust, and will be appearing on Crowdsupply.com soon.
