Monster Hunters can now flatten everything with the Sax-a-Boom, a toy instrument best-known for a Ja
Published: January 01, 0001
Behold the Sax-A-Boom. This garish beauty is a toy instrument resembling a saxophone, apparently first released in 1998, with eight buttons and a speaker, with each button triggering a synthesised musical [[link]] loop. It wasn't an especial hit at the time but, at some point, one found its way into the hands of Jack Black and Tenacious D.
Tenacious D has a live song, simply called Sax-a-Boom, which the band would over the years. But it was Black's later appearance on Jimmy Fallon in 2018, during which he played a Sax-a-Boom alongside in-house band The Roots, that saw interest in the toy shoot through the roof. According to , and who knew that existed, Black's advocacy has seen the instrument become "highly collectable and rare."
Now an enterprising modder has added the instrument to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. TalonGrayson's mod has the straightforward title "" and, as you can see in the image, blesses hunters with a comically oversized version of the toy. If you're not a Monster Hunter [[link]] player, all you need to know is that the hunting horn is basically a giant hammer that you play melodies on while smashing it into monsters, so the Sax-a-Boom is a weirdly good fit for this exact vibe.
"This mod replaces the Awakened Safi'jiiva hunting horn with a Sax-a-Boom, complete with accurate honks to complement your accurate bonks," [[link]] says TalonGrayson. "Honk n Bonk, fellow rock stars!"
Here's the Sax-a-Boom being rocked in Monster Hunter World:
The real world Sax-a-Boom is, sadly, long discontinued. The eagle-eyed will notice the "Kawasaki" branding but it's not made by the Kawasaki Motors Corporation: manufacturer DSI Toys held the license to make toys with the branding on them, and clearly just decided to slap it on some instruments (the Sax-a-Boom is part of a wider musical toy line called the Kawasaki Rockers Band).
Anyway, we can truly say that this is a mod of which Jack Black would approve. And TalonGrayson's fine work already has many admirers on NexusMods. "If anyone asks me why modding is important for gaming," , "I'll show them this."

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.

I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique.
