Overview
They are also called Sawad saxophone, depending on the romanization of the Thai name. Dejpakune began as a music teacher frustrated with the high cost of traditional brass saxophones, which essentially put them out of the reach of ordinary Thai students. He decided to create a more affordable saxophone using local materials, eventually choosing wood. Despite its innovative design and unique tone, the instrument remains largely unknown outside of Thailand.
Sawat saxophone is a musical instrument.
