Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument with Built-in Speaker and Bluetooth MIDI, White
This is the white finish of the Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument, an electronic horn you play with breath and fingering just like a traditional wind instrument. It covers silent practice and a wider palette of sounds in one instrument, and it is aimed at players of all types of wind instrument.
Sounds: 10 voices onboard, heard through the built-in speaker or over headphones when practice needs to stay private.
Response: 3 levels of breath sensitivity, so the instrument can be matched to how you actually blow.
Fingering: a choice of 2 fingerings, letting you carry over the system you already know.
Transpose: a transpose function to move the whole instrument in pitch.
Connectivity: MIDI over Bluetooth for a wireless link to a phone, tablet or computer.
Mouthpiece: silicone and washable, so it can be cleaned properly rather than wiped.
Power: an internal rechargeable battery, charged over the supplied USB cable.
In the box: a soft carry case for easy transportation and the USB charging cable.
Finished in white, the Carry-On Digital Wind Instrument behaves just like a traditional wind instrument in the hands and mouth, then hands the sound over to electronics. That combination gives a wind player two things that are hard to get otherwise: quiet practice, and a range of sound possibilities beyond one acoustic instrument.
What it sounds like
Ten voices are built in. They can be heard through the instrument's own speaker, which needs nothing plugged in, or through headphones for practice that stays between you and the instrument.
Making it feel right
Three levels of breath sensitivity let you set how much air the instrument wants before it responds, and there is a choice of 2 fingerings so players arriving from different wind instruments are not forced to relearn the layout. The transpose function moves the whole instrument in pitch, which saves rewriting or rereading a part.
Wireless and portable
MIDI over Bluetooth connects the instrument to a phone, tablet or computer without a cable, so it can play software sounds or feed a recording app. The mouthpiece is washable silicone and comes off for cleaning. In the box there is a soft carry case for easy transportation and a USB cable for the internal rechargeable battery.
