Long Curling Wind Instrument Similar To A Snake

We use a snake combining vocal mic, instrument mics, D.I.s, and monitor cables for each band member, running to their area of the stage from the stage digital mixer, and this product makes it easy to customize those changes and change out cables when necessary.

High quality snake. It costs triple the price of similar Hosa snake, but you get what you pay for. Solid build, neutrik connectors.

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.

Easy cheap shoot through umbrella... that is what I was looking for. I have damaged similar umbrellas when they tip over in the wind outside, therefor I do not like to spend a lot on my shoot through umbrellas. This fit the bill perfectly.

holds my 16 x 20s and prevents them from curling

I love love love this instrument. The sound and touch are the best I've seen. I plan to use this for a long time.

This replaces a Seiko model with electronic sounds. Voice 1 on the Korg is very similar to an old school wind up metronome. I also like the timer functionality. Makes practicing more enjoyable

It's got great wind resistance and video quality is pretty similar to the Air 2s . And no geo-fencing. Great alternative to the Air 2s

a very well built snake, with the best components.

This miniature balanced microphone cable is very sturdy to withstand snake pulls through long conduit runs with a very smooth jacket that slides well inside conduits with other wires already present. This job was to replace a long run of damaged miniature mic cable in an in-service conduit at a church, and add two more balanced pairs to run from the altar to the balcony at the back of the sanctuary.
