Tenor Saxophone Harmonic Minor Scales

Very well built. Very stable and adjustable for different sizes of alto and tenor saxophone. Also adjust the height.

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.

it picks up all the great sound , i use it for my alto saxophone its works great ,sounds great .

Good capture of harmonic distortion, easy to use impossible for this price, just perfect for me

I am of the humble opinion that for $ there is no better single channel mic pre on the market. The harmonic distortion on this unit is absolutely yummy!

I use a pair of the RPQ160b's for room resonance reduction. Very low harmonic distortion - didn't seem to add anything to the sound quality of my system. Great price given the functionality and sound quaility.

I've used the Saramonic XLR wireless, but the Sennheiser is better. Sennheiser captures the low harmonic series better, giving your vocals the warmth that a good, wired mic delivers - or that an expensive wireless mic with a rack mount receiver and antennae delivers.

Is good to have a better soft and harmonic light I just bough for my FJ80 II M, not a problem at all to use it and attach

Converts and scales images great.� I've already recommended to a friend and I may buy another soon.

Very nice and well built reflector not only can it be used for recording vocals but also for saxophone too. worth the money!
