    • El mejor instrumento de viento
Style: Stand-alone EWI with Built-in Speaker
Para mí, que no soy músico ni profesional en música sino un simple aficionado, este EWI SOLO es un instrumento casi perfecto. Sus 200 instrumentos son muy variados y bien logrados. Los atajos para programarlo son muy útiles. Lo amo. Lo único malo es la falta de documentación sobre su programación y configuración. Si no se configura bien suena fatal, pero bien configurado es un regalo para el alma. ... show more

    • Well, it's different!
Style: Stand-alone EWI with Built-in Speaker
I use to play the tenor sax and decided to go back to it after many years, and I'm on the senior side of life. I bought a new Jean Paul Tenor. Then I saw the Yamaha 120 EWI and bought it to practice with. Not a good idea. It simply didn't work for me. Then I came across the Akai EWI PRO Solo a month later and thought this might be something to try, per the reviews. It is much easier to play than the Yamaha. it's not a real sax, but it's lightweight, and the fingering is similar. The best part is I can put on earphones and practice without anyone yelling at me or disturbing the neighborhood. I've only had it for a few days, and the programming is not easy to learn, but it works, and I can, with a little effort play a tune. It is an instrument one has to learn how to play, don't expect it to be like a standard instrument, which in my case is a Tenor Sax. Oh yeah, it has like 200 different instruments one can play on it. So, I shouldn't get bored. I'm going to keep it, For the money it seems like a good investment. ... show more

    • GET YOU ONE OF THESE!
Style: Stand-alone EWI with Wireless Connectivity
Like the man in the movie said, "I got to get me one of those!" I love this thing already. I did before I bought it. Extra for wireless on the 5000; worth it. If you are a sax/reed player, you will be able to just jump on it, and play. If you are a brass/trumpet player there are some adjustment hours coming to you. It will play with brass/trumpet fingering, but there are a couple of things you have to learn to do with your LEFT hand that makes it a bit challenging. I'd say the average player can get it tight/proficient in less than 4-5 hours of playing time. I'm thinking bout just pretending it's a RECORDER. You know that little plastic thingy we all played back in grade school. Probably more instinctive route. I got an AMAZON credit card so it wouldn't break up my cash stash. So, it's only 20% paid for. 3 more months, all mine. Don't be denied, you know you want one, so, quit messing around, BUY IT! ... show more

    • Evolutionary Sound and Performance with Poor Assembly by Design
Style: Stand-alone EWI with Built-in Speaker
This is the greatest EWI, but its construction is suspect by design. I was having so much musical fun for almost four days. Everything this instrument does sound and GUI-wise is artistic and brilliant. However, I had to return it. I have owned the following EWIs: 1000/2000m, 3020/3000m/3020m/3030m, 4000s, USB, and the 5000. The EWI Solo is easily the very best iteration musically for MANY reasons. I had to return it because of boneheaded construction by design. I took it out of its case to practice and immediately noticed a dreaded rattling sound coming from the body of the instrument (which had never fallen, been jostled or impacted). It sounded like a screw rolling inside the instrument in response to gravity. Curious, I listened to it rolling up towards the mouthpiece, or down towards the bell in response to tilting the instrument. I had no idea what internal screw could have come free, or why…until my neck strap ring fell off. Then the grim reality of a cheaply constructed, poorly designed instrument hit me. Had this been any of the previous models, I would have gotten my screwdriver and screwed the ring back into place. Those were always external screws (duh). These were screwed in place prior to assembly, thus winding up in an inaccessible place, permanently rattling about inside my now strap ringless instrument. My options were to send it to Akai for repair (more inaccessible internal screws for four days, or perhaps four months before failure), or returning the instrument. I returned this otherwise wonderful instrument due to boneheaded construction failure. ... show more

    • Exactly as described and as I expected.
Style: Stand-alone EWI with Built-in Speaker
Item arrived on time well packed new and un-opened. I received my ewi solo faster than I would have through any other places estimated delivery time. I found this appealing. I would order from this seller again! Everything works perfectly. I won't review the item as there are 100s from people who's opinions are important. I am a flautist and whistle player. After changing the sensitivity and velocity to something more realistic to my accustomed play style, both needing to be considerably more sensitive, I am quite happy with my purchase! ... show more
