Woohoo! As an EWI player, THANK YOU for featuring the coolest instrument no one seems to know about! 😁 Awesome playing!

[@bassofone1]

This is so great. Do you know which EWI he is playing? And which one do you like to play? I'm shopping around for myself.

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@bassofone1 It looks like he’s likely using an AKAI EWI 4000 (or maybe 5000). I personally play the NuRAD, which is a handmade, boutique EWI. I previously played AKAI EWIs. The main thing to know is that the 5000 and Solo models have a sample-based internal synth, and the prior models have a virtual analog built in synth. The EWI USB is the only one with no built-in synth. Since they’re MIDI controllers, you can use them to play most any synth, software or hardware. I’m not sure if he’s playing the internal synth here or controlling an external one. If I were recommending one to get started, I think I’d say go with either the 5000 or the Solo. They’re more modern and have some nice newer features. If you want the analog synth sounds, pick up a an inexpensive virtual analog software synth to go with it. 😁

Dayna's tone during his solo was gnarly. It reminded me of some Miles' tones on his work in the 70's

Emmet coughing on beat 😂 2:24 I need to listen to more EWI players that was some celestial stuff

[@tamikaze3751]

I've never heard an EWI before! What a great musical experience! Thanks for the great introduction to the instrument!

[@ISuperTed]

Love the It’s About That Time vibes that float in and out around the solos in this. Beautiful interaction in the band.

[@ikolette907]

Fantastic. And Mr. Evans came through with such blazing fire and determination. What a soulful performance on trumpet!

[@tressel2489]

Is it possible to know the model of this EWI?

Thank you for your wonderful experiment! It sounds fantastic and inspires me to create even more wonderful sounds!
