The daxophone, invented by Hans Reichel, is an electric wooden experimental musical instrument of the friction idiophones category.
== Etymology == The dax in daxophone is derived from the German word Dachs, meaning "badger" and referencing the many animal sounds that the daxophone is capable of generating, changed to dax so that the instrument name echoes Adolphe Sax's saxophone.
