Air Pressure Wind Instrument

Easy handling with safe air pressure

I also have a Giotto Rocket Air Blaster, which I love. I decided to buy the VisibleDust blower based on the theory it will reduce the risk of blowing dust on my sensor. I don't know how real that risk actually is... The air is pushed through a filter to minimize the risk of blowing dust onto your sensor. Because of this, the air pressure you can generate is lower than for the Giotto, but I suppose you don't want too much pressure against your sensor anyway. It's sufficient for blowing dust off your lens, too. Quality is solid.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

This is just large enough to give you enough air pressure to get troublesome dust off of your gear, but not too large. Adjustable nozzle is great especially when I am holding multiple items in my hands - trying to keep everything facing down (lens and body) when swapping lenses.

Quality tripods, anyone looking for a level tripod but at a cheap price, this is the tripod, it holds up well in the winds, and it also has air pressure as soon as the screws are released so that your flash will not drop your lighting signal quickly but slowly

This is the best blower around when comparing air pressure and size. It blasts dust with one squeeze. It fits nicely in my bag and doesn't take up too much room. Saves from having to use the cloth too much.

Has good air pressure to blow off dust/debris. Easily packs in camera bag.

Easiest to apply screen protector I have ever used. Clears air spaces without additional pressure. Crystal clear protection. This is the second one I have purchased for cameras and would not hesitate to purchase again.

Usually a lesser priced Rocket air tool is just that, lesser. But this has great air pressure

This product really works. I thought it might be a waist but it is high pressure air. No condensation on your electronics. Nice selection of attachments. Stop buying air cans and pick up one of these. B&H had it at a good price.
