Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument with Built-in Speaker and Bluetooth MIDI, Black
The Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument in black is played like a traditional wind instrument but sounds through electronics, which makes it a practical answer to two problems at once: practising without filling the house with noise, and getting at sounds your own horn cannot make.
- 10 voices: a set of ten sounds, heard through the built-in speaker or over headphones.
- Built-in speaker: plays out loud with nothing else plugged in.
- Silent practice: switch to headphones and the instrument goes quiet to everyone but you.
- 3 levels of breath sensitivity: set how hard the instrument makes you work.
- Choice of 2 fingerings: pick the fingering system that matches the instrument you already play.
- Transpose function: shift the pitch without relearning the part.
- MIDI over Bluetooth: connect wirelessly to a phone, tablet or computer.
- Washable silicone mouthpiece: takes the mouthpiece off and cleans it properly.
- Included: a soft carry case for transport and a USB cable for the internal rechargeable battery.
The Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument is played the way any wind instrument is played, with breath and fingers, but everything after that happens electronically. In black, it is a practical solution for silent practice and for reaching sound possibilities that no single acoustic horn can cover, and it suits players of all types of wind instrument.
Ten voices, out loud or private
There are 10 voices onboard. You can hear them through the instrument's built-in speaker when you want the room to hear you, or through headphones when you do not. That second option is the reason many players buy one: late practice, thin walls, shared flats and hotel rooms all stop being a problem.
Set it up around your own playing
Breath sensitivity has 3 levels, so the instrument can be set to respond the way you expect rather than forcing a new technique on you. There is a choice of 2 fingerings, which lets players coming from different wind instruments use a system they already know. A transpose function shifts the pitch of the whole instrument when the written part and the sound you need do not line up.
Connecting and looking after it
MIDI over Bluetooth sends your playing wirelessly to a phone, tablet or computer, so the instrument can drive software sounds and recording apps as well as its own. The mouthpiece is silicone and washable, which matters on anything you play with your mouth. A soft carry case is included for easy transportation, along with a USB cable for charging the internal rechargeable battery.
