Der Lautsprecher ist vom Klang nicht so gut.

I just received my parcel I opened the box and switched on the flute but the last three buttons won’t play 😔

TLDR: This is a useful and very flexible EWI. The sounds are OK through the built-in speaker and very good through headphones or an external speaker. It is simple to play. The only thing I don't like is that the battery isn't replaceable.Rationale:I'm getting on a bit now and can no longer play my beloved banjo due to Parkinson's. I still enjoy making music, though. I originally tried the clarinet, but it takes years to master ... and I haven't got that many more years left. An EWI produces a decent, in-tune sound immediately without having to spend years learning the embouchure and intonation. Another advantage is that I can practice silently with headphones.I enjoy playing along to karaoke and midi files I've written on my computer and playing solo for my own pleasure.Playability:This is very simple and intuitive to play. Hold all the buttons down to get the lowest note. Each finger you take off gives you the next note on the scale. When you run out of notes, start again on the higher or lower octave. So you have a total range of 3 octaves ... enough for most tunes you'll ever want to play. There are two more buttons allowing you to go up and down a semitone, so accidentals are easy.If I have any complaint, it would be about the octave selectors: it's quite easy to miss your position and suddenly jump or drop an octave. This might be due to my Parkinson's, so it's not something most will be concerned about. I'm finding that I am getting better at controlling this.Sound:There are 10 built-in sounds which are easily selected. They sound OK but a bit tinny through the built-in speaker, but really quite good through headphones or an external speaker. No one in the next room will think you're playing a real clarinet (for example) but they will recognise what it's supposed to be. The sax sounds are pretty good and the flute is very pleasant.I usually play it through a small Bluetooth speaker connected through a 3.5 mm jack cable. The sound is remarkably good.Very useful is the ability to transpose. So if you learn a tune in F but your buddy plays it in Eb, you can simply transpose down a full tone and you're both playing in the same key. I've found this useful for playing along with karaoke as well.Flexibility:The instrument is fully diatonic, so you can theoretically play in any key. Most people will naturally gravitate to C, F or G as these are the easy keys. When you add the transpose function, you have immense flexibility. And by transposing up a tone. folkies can play in D, G and A easily (although you'll need to tune down again to make Am, Dm and Em easy).Playing sharps and flats is very easy; the two buttons on your left hand little finger perform this function. You can also use cross-fingerings similar to a recorder; they're all given in the manual. This gives you an additional level of flexibility. You'll find that you use different fingerings of the same note on different tunes ... they just flow better.Unlike a wind instrument, you cannot slide from one note to another, but you can put in grace notes very easily.A feature that I haven't seen on any other EWI is a special fingering that enables you to play an octave and a half in the same octave selector position; it's explained in the introduction manual.You could use this for playing anything from simple Morris dance music to Mozart flute concertos. The only limit is your imagination and skill. Buskers, folkies and church band players might find it very useful.Sustainability:This is the reason I've given 4 stars rather than 5. There is no way to replace the battery once it fails ... as it inevitably will. I find it distressing that I will have to throw away perfectly good electronics and plastic for no other reason than the manufacturer hasn't taken on their responsibilities. I know that it would add a little to the initial purchase price, but what about the price to the planet?Slight gripe: I'd really prefer to have the headphone socket on the underside. Having it on the side makes the instrument twist a bit and gets in the way of your right hand when playing.Summary: It sounds OK and it plays OK and it's reasonably priced.

It's lightweight and well presented in it's box and comes with a carry pouch.Sounds-wise it's OK, the different voices offer variety but some are definitely better than others and they all sound a bit 1980's.The keys are responsive, the lower two have split pads for C# and D# and the thumb pad is split for access to the upper register. I don't like that the keys are flush with the surface, it means that you have to actually look where you're placing your fingers when first picking the instrument up to play it, if they had been recessed a little it would offer something closer to the feel of the real thing.The breath sensitivity is adjustable and it works but it has distinct switching points, there isn't infinite variability on the volume, more like a series of steps especially at the lower end.There is some latency between playing the note and hearing it, but it's not too annoying and it can be lived with.The transpose feature could be useful and works fine.I had bought one of these previously and left a critical review because neither of the fingering schemes matched a real recorder. I sent mine back. But curiosity prompted me to revisit and I bought another whilst they were on cheap.They must have updated the firmware because this one does have correct fingering according to the Baroque style, albeit the fingering that usually appears as alternative 1 or 2 on most fingering charts. Bb is the most awkward, requiring an extra finger to what is the usual but it is a valid finger pattern and I've pretty much adjusted to it after an hour of play.A big attraction of this instrument for is the ability to play silently with headphones, but even with the volume on the lowest it can be a bit loud in the headphones (but that's my ears I guess).It connects easily to Pocket Piano Pro on Android and enables play through the phone and recording to midi with that app. But as has been pointed out with bluetooth, the latency is quite noticeable.One thing I forgot mention in my initial review is that the amount of air needed to play this instrument is much lower than that required for a real recorder. On this I can easily play sequences of 30 seconds or more without needing to take a breath. So it does allow a more flowing style of play. This feature could be very useful for people suffering with respiratory issues.I really like it.

"The Muzic Store Inc" seller is awesome/helpful! When my package went missing, the seller shipped me a replacement and was very responsive and helpful. I am so grateful. Sadly, the instrument (carry-on digital recorder) was not so great. The recorder makes a horrible buzzing/static noise which is constant while recorder is turned on. You can even hear it when the recorder is on lower volumes (which is largely why I wanted digital recorder in first place, to play on low volume). So, recorder bad, Seller good (Thank you Muzic Store Inc!)

Edit: To anyone having similar issues with velocity always being 100% no matter how hard you blow through this, the breath intensity is transmitted separately on channel 1, and it takes some extra configuration, but it does work.Original review below. I've changed my opinion on this device, somewhat. I still VERY much dislike that this does not work with Windows without workarounds, however I have found that with a CME Widi Bud Plus, this will actually become usable in my DAW (FL Studio 21) AND it actually pairs properly to the Widi Bud Plus. There is a problem, though, and that's that this always outputs 100% velocity, though that may be an issue with the midi over bluetooth device that I'm using, as when I connected this to FL Studio Mobile, the velocity came through properly, so that will not affect my rating.My rating is affected, however, by the fact that I had to buy a device that costs as much as this instrument just to use it with my computer. A standalone app from Blackstar that allowed this to pair and become available as a midi controller to my PC would resolve a majority of complaints I have about this item. And while I would dismiss the compatibility problem if it was just me not seeing something in the marketing materials, there are two features that are clearly stated on the pictures and product page: that this can do midi over USB (it can't) and that this can work with a PC (unless you have a device that automatically pairs with this instrument and then pretends to be a USB midi controller, like I do, no, it does not work with PC). The manual included with the item even lists just iOS and Apple products in the types of systems you can connect this too, in spite of what the product page says. This costs it a star.On to the good stuff:I love the feel of this. It's plastic, but the plastic is fairly rigid, and the surface feels good, like a decent entry level or middle priced electronic device. The buttons, the inputs, it all feels good. It's not heavy, but it doesn't feel flimsy either. It's very pleasurable to mess around with this intrument, and the ability to set the volume to 0 bypasses the requirement to plug in a fake 3.5mm audio jack to get this to stop outputting through the speaker, which is an issue I've seen in other similar products. Props for that.I've always wanted to get into learning a woodwind, and this item, so far at least, inspires a lot of motivation to look up some videos and practice some things. It's a very pleasant digital instrument, and much more reasonably priced than the offerings by Roland and Akai (though those are definitely superior).Original review:I bought this to use as a midi controller for my DAW. I use FL Studio, which does not yet support Midi over Bluetooth, but there are workarounds I can use.Long story short: this device does not support Windows. It can pair with iPads, it can pair with Macs, but it cannot pair with a Windows based PC. Pairing it results in it immediately disconnecting and behaving as though it is paired but disconnected permanently.No workaround will work if this thing can't handle connecting to Windows, and yes, I was using a bluetooth 5.0 dongle just like the manual said, and yes, I tried both with and without the Korg BLE Midi driver installed, and yes, I tried LoopMidi, and MidiBerry, and no, I couldn't get this thing to do anything but stay in a paired/disconnected state. I even tried multiple bluetooth dongles.That aside, this was pleasant to play, though it lacks legato. The tones are ok. They're not great. As a recorder, this is decent, but the midi controller portion, the part that makes this product go from $10 to $70+? Doesn't work with either my or a majority of computers in the market. So since this device is missing over 60% of its value in functionality, this gets one star.

This is an amazing instrument for the price. Not sure why folks are complaining. I have an Akai EWI (electronic woodwind instrument) that costs four times as much, is five times harder to use, will not work stand alone, and does not sound any better. In short the "carry on" is a fantastic product.If you know woodwind keying (which I do) you can pick it up and play in 5 minutes, otherwise you will need to learn the notes as you would a recorder. It is about as easy to learn.The "carry on" can be used alone with no other sound or midi device. Alone, it is just as loud as a typical recorder. It plays 3 octaves and it has maybe 7 distinct instrument sounds (e.g., a recorder, trumpet, clarinet, sax, and oboe). You can easily link it to any small external speaker (with a small phono plug). I use it with a Bose and a Sony small speakers designed for i-phones/ipads, and the sound fills up a large room. I also link it (with an adapted guitar cord) to a small guitar amp and I can add reverb and easily fill a small recital hall. While not a true professional instrument it comes pretty close. It is at least as good or better than a regular recorder or Irish whistle or a mid price EWI (costing $500).One of the best features is that the carry on has built in Bluetooth that you can link to "MIDI" based apps. Once I figured out where to look on the app, it took me 1 minute to link it to all of the music software on my IPAD (i.e., garage band, music studio, cubasis, sample tank). For example in Garage Band, you click on the "gear wheel" setting button (top right for the screen), then go to advanced, and after you turn on the instrument's bluetooth, it shows up below the garage band's "bluetooth midi device". Once you link it, it plays on garage band just as easily as the built in keyboard.After you link the carry on to any of your IPAD (or computer) apps you can make use of all of the built in sounds in your software. For example, using garage band on my Ipad (which I also linked to the above speakers or amp for concert level volume) I now have access to all the garage band sounds like guitar, piano, flute, and drum kit. With the music studio app (including the woodwind add on pack) I have access to over 125 different sounds including 25+ different woodwinds, which sound just about as good as any high end EWI instrument. Voila, with this $95 instrument (and your Ipad or iphone) and small speaker or guitar amp) you have a semi professional EWI instrument for fun and possibly even playing in public.This "EWI" offers a whole new way of playing that goes well beyond the built in IPAD key board or even an external keyboard. And this carry on is the best entry level access to the world of electronic MIDI music to all of us who are woodwind players.So this is now my favorite instrument. You will have almost no learning curve if you previously played, clarinet, flute, recorder or sax. And if you played none of these before, there is no easier way to get started in the new world of digital woodwinds as a complement to your other instruments.

Arrivato nei tempi previsti! Il flauto e molto bello e funzionale . Regatato a mio figlio né è rimasto entusiasta!!!!! Consigliato
