Cos it's cheap, it doesn't have a valve where you have to pinch it to let air in/out, just open the stopper. I can't fully inflate it - my problem is, in between when I stop blowing or pumping into the valve and putting the stopper back on loads of air comes out. Any advice? Thanks in advance

My advice is, buy a slightly more expensive small inflatable saxophone.

Keep the stopper in your mouth and close it with your tongue?

I thought you meant 'explode'.

Good advice... Unfortunately, I haven't got time to. The event is tomorrow

Stick your tongue in the gap whenever you're not blowing into it? Air can't come out that quickly - I've blown up inflatable beds without a valve or pump before.

Put the whole blowing bit in your mouth to stop air escaping then push the thing shut with your tongue.

blow it up from the inside by sucking

If you don't have enough lung power to inflate a balloon sax, I bet you couldn't play a real sax

I like how this is in 'everyday issues'

Good luck with the inflatable sax OP! May I ask what you are intending on doing with it?

Would using a straw work? Then you could pinch the straw between breaths and then pull it out and seal it quickly?

I imagine you'd get too much air escaping out the bit where the saxophone connects with the straw. Unless if you used blu tack or suchlike as a sealant.

[Mister Dead]

when the air escapes does it play a tune?

that would just be it mocking you really

This completely tickled me.. but I have no useful advice to help with your issue
