Sawats are wooden saxophones created by designer Sawat (Sawad) Dejprakune in Chiang Rai, Thailand. They are available in tenor, alto, and soprano versions. They are the only true wooden saxophone (as opposed to clarinet) in production as of 2012. They are also called Sawad saxophone, depending on the romanization of the Thai name. Despite its innovative design and unique tone, the instrument remains largely unknown outside of Thailand.
