This controversy of the emergence of virtual instruments sounds familiar, because in the 70's did this same fear that would destroy the synthesizer with piano, this is a very old thought, let's stop this insecurity, because what matters is the sound coming out, if that makes music sound good long life to Morrison Trumpet.
Why don't they put small turbine at the opening after the mouthpiece so that some enrgy can be harvested and maybe it could be used to power something
It looks pretty useful, and I do agree with morrison, if you hit a key, you can't do anything with it after. I actually had a similar idea with a silent harmonica which you could place in your mouth and use your hands to hit chords and melodies while using the harmonica to articulate and bend.
Can you do a vibrato without the key, the old way?
@pyromohanzed that harmonica idea sound very cool you should actually make it
you could just have alot of pressure sensors and buttons then slap on a speaker and motherboard and voila but it might be kind of big :( or you could plug it in :)
the only issue is that people would have to learn how to play harmonica first, which is kinda sorta a bit hard .. i'll work on it , developing the sensor set would be my focus right now.
#1 reason I'll take acoustic over electric any day: Electric instruments don't last a tenth the time of acoustics without repair.
Nifty as this is, I ain't dishing out $2k for something that'll be dead in ten years when I could buy something that'll last 100 or more for a couple hundred.
Not to mention the fact that many acoustic instruments sound better over time. Electronics diminish.
That said, These midi instruments are pretty cool, and far more accessible than a keyboard ever was.
I see where you're coming from, don't entirely agree though. Something of this quality will definitely last your entire life so long as you actually take care of it. Minor repairs should not be all that difficult either. Kind of comparing apples and oranges. They definitely both have their uses. I definitely agree that this thing is awesome! Going to buy one and stop working on my keyboard skills, haha
You cannot seriously call that thing a "trumpet". Real instruments don't need electricity or fancy wiring. It takes talent to play any brass instrument.... not just pressing buttons.
its not supposed to be a trumpet, its supposed to be anything but! Its just as hard to make music out of "electricity or fancy wiring" as it is on a real trumpet
Maybe for the designers of the electric trumpet. But honestly, my biggest hurdle when learning to play the trumpet was oxygen control. I'd often get splitting headaches and a time or two momentarily passed out because I wasn't breathing right. (Granted, I was much younger).
I don't really see that happening with an electric device which picks up on your tone and the amount of air and amplifies it...
I admire and respect musicians that have taken the years to perfect playing an instrument but I think your criticism is a bit unwarranted. In the digital age, that respect must extend to composers using these sorts of digital instruments as well. It may not be a trumpet in the traditional sense but neither is a synth keyboard considered a piano; regardless, they are all still instruments that require time and effort to play well. I could only imagine the possibilities with this thing!
Suena asqueroso, malo, feo, horrible. Ademas veo que ni siquiera es necesario hacer buzzing para que suene (?)... es un juguete eso, no es una trompeta.
he always plays the same annoying tune the first minute :S

This is probably the best invention since the Akai EVI, but the fake bell shape at the end makes it look like a total joke.

I'm pretty sure James Morrison has more than three octaves of range on a trumpet. A lot more.
