Great instrument

The EWI Solo is fun and easy to play, even if you don't have previous experience with a woodwind or brass instrument. The built-in speaker isn't really loud enough for anything other than solo practice sessions, but if you need bigger sound you can plug into an external speaker or an amp. The Solo doesn't have wireless connectivity, but it does have USB, 1/4 audio jack, and a 1/8 jack for headphones or smaller speakers. I have no regrets getting this instrument, and would recommend to anyone looking for a solid entry level EWI, but it is large and slightly heavy which could make it difficult for younger players.
Great Instrument - Would buy another anytime!!!

Great instrument. Love the sound and ease of playing. It is easy to set up using different videos and web articles. It takes a few days of trial and error to find settings that are comfortable to you. It is so versatile and easy to make your sound. It is very well made. I played saxophone and clarinet and it is a great way to practice quietly and to have an instrument that sounds great all by itself. The built in sounds really sound great.
my first wind instrument.

I play guitar, bass, drums, and keys, harmonica, and I was surprised at how EZ this instrument was to learn. I just learned to play in the key of C and I use the transpose function to play in other keys. Its got its own speaker or you can use headphones. the keys do not actually move at all, they are activated by the electrical conductivity of your fingers or something like that. The instrument produces no sound to play whatsoever. You could get some headphones and practice anywhere without disturbing anyone. I think the octave rollers in the back make the ewi the most versitile electronic wind controller. hear is a link to a video of someone great playing the Ewi 500 to show you what the instrument can do.
