Wind Instrument Pitched An Octave Lower Length

Ok, so I am writing this review even though I didn't use this product. I purchased it because I thought it was much smaller than it is. - Max Width: 3.75"; Total Height: 1"; Total Length: 2.5"; Saddle Length: 2.5"; Saddle Height Upper: .6"; Saddle Width Upper: 1.85"; Saddle Height Lower: .25"; Saddle Width Lower: 3.15"; Saddle Length: 2.5". - The dovetail mounting bracket is extremely well made because it is made from 6061 aluminum, has been machined IAW with dovetail specifications (see above), and the finish is anodized and extremely durable. - There is one " threaded mounting hole and 5 unthreaded and recessed mounting holes. - The unit shipped with two Allen key mounting bolts which fit into the recessed mounting holes for a flush finish. - With respect to B&H, from selection to delivery this transaction went perfectly. Thank you ... as always - will shop again.

Lower cost than elsewhere.

Got this for a 2-octave kbd. Just perfect - love it.

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.

The GBU4101 baritone Ukulele Bag is perfect for what I put it to use as. As most popular Ukulele on in the market is the Soprano, most of the gear and accessories are for that smaller model. Finding a good bag at a good price to accommodate an instrument of 30 in length was a rather trying process and I am glad I found the GBU4101 Bag. I am so pleased with this bag from B&H that I have told several of my friends that also have instruments requiring a bag of 30 inside length. Check out my photos to see how well the instrument fits.

Lower cost then Amazon

Lower price than Apple for the same coverage. Can't beat that!

Exactly as advertised. Now I don't have to use the octave jump button on the small 41 key synths. ;)

Works perfectly for extending the length of short microphones to fit mounts or wind protection.

Great hood. Lower price than Oly version.
