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.

I love this little EWI. Compact, intuitive recorder fingerings, compatibility with Bluetooth MIDI (on my Windows device). The all black model is so esoteric - you pull it out and no one knows what you've got. It blows minds! Functionally identical to the Ta Horng Elefue that sells for much more. A steal at this price. Don't even get me started on some of the more expensive EWIs I've owned from those brands you know.

I have video of me playing this on YouTube (Bacon420) and I love it. I can play in any key without the easy transpose button, but for a beginner that makes it possible to play along with any song you hear! Not a big fan of the onboard instruments and the lack of an octave key to get the lower and upper octave quickly. I could never get the bluetooth to work, but figured the delay would be too annoying any way. The breath settings make it even easier for a novice, and once you go to level 3 it becomes far more dynamic. I would recommend this to classrooms of kids! It is so much more fun than a standard recorder, and doesn't ever go flat or sharp if you blow too soft or hard!

I am an absolute beginner at recorder, and I appreciate how the whole apartment building doesn't have to hear me play (I got this for the headphone jack alone!) It's also a lot easier on this device to hit some of the high notes that require you to partially cover holes. It is slightly less satisfying than playing a real recorder, because there is less of a visceral connection to the sound, but that is going to be the case with any cheap MIDI instrument.

Well made. Beautiful design. Good tone for such a small built-in speaker. Have not used it as a MIDI controller yet, but planning to do so. Terrific price.

Short Version -No Windows support at all -Will not work as a midi controller for most applications -Speaker hums when idle so you cant really record on high quality Mics with a lot of extra post work -$99 its to much for what was advertised -Can't connect over USB Long Version I am a both a software developer and a experience Woodwind Player. I had hoped to use this as an alternative to using a keyboard as a midi controller but wants the product arrived I realized very quickly that this was a waste of money and the Week I spent trying to get it to work over my Linux and Windows Laptop. I tried many different tools like Loop Midi , LMMS , Qtractor , and MuseScore. On Windows I can connect over Bluetooth for 5 seconds before it disconnects. Showing as paired but not connected. Don't trust niche product without a proper support trail or strong Community. I have a lot of unique problems and I should have just got the dang Piano

I received this from my wife, whom I assume bought it because it would play through headphones. That's what I use if for, and it's perfect.
