Tenacious D 'playing' the Sax-a-boom live.

The Sax-a-boom is an electronic musical toy saxophone from Shoot the Moon II, a subsidiary of DSI Toys[1] (now bankrupt),[2] made famous by the band Tenacious D. Jack Black often uses the novelty toy during performances.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Each of its keys plays a clip of music that sounds almost like a saxophone.[11]

The Kawasaki branding is purely for aesthetics; the label issued with the Sax-a-boom says Kawasaki has no role in the manufacture of the toy.[12]
