\"Sax-A-Boom<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sax-A-Boom was formerly sold by DSI Toys. This interesting saxophone-shaped toy, plays pre-recorded licks accompanied by a variety of backing tracks. Pressing the buttons on the front plays the different licks, which you can use in any combination to create your own song<\/em>. And yes, it does sound remarkably like a saxophone.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

Because of Jack Black’s use of this electronic toy, some owners of a Sax-A-Boom try to sell their horns for ridiculous amounts of money. Get over yourselves people. They were cheap toys. This one was one of the more reasonably priced ones that sold on eBay in June 2014 for $39.99 (still basically double the original price), and it was missing its neck strap.<\/p>\n

Nearly a year later this Sax-A-Boom appeared on the UK eBay site. The seller advertised it still contained its original batteries. I think we can figure out how the inside of the battery compartment is going to look! Nonetheless, these eBay pics show this electronic toy saxophone’s original packaging.<\/p>\n
