Where are people getting all this "flute" stuff from? It doesn't sound like a flute, nor does it look like a flute. So many opinions based on ignorance.

Whoever decided to take a keyboard and shape it like a flute is an idiot. What a waste of time. Why not just learn how to play keyboard instead? Morons.
that is your oponion a can play the same song whit the sax, soprano, or alto but this is for little fun. and cocert, usin like a trumpet. whit tis int. you can play many instruments.
By that logic, you could say an electric guitar is just a guitar-shaped keyboard. You *could* make it sound like another instrument entirely with the right equipment and programs.
To wind instrument players, this is their equivalent of the electric guitar.
It's just that, aside from folk music and some kinds of metal, wind instruments aren't really widely used in mainstream european/north american music.
retard its not a flute shape its basically a clarinet but electric and it doesnt just play other instruments on sum u can record your voice and play it back on different pitches ... can ur keyboard do that. ?. ?.?
I don't play keyboard. If you want to know, I do electric guitar.
I just wonder if that flute works with acoustic sound, which is "edited" to make it sound different (like an electric guitar), or doesn't it have any acoustic sounds, so it just registers the amount of air you blow and the buttons you use, and them makes a sound which would sound like the chosen instrument (like a keyboard).
From one guitarist to another, referring to what this instrument does as "like a keyboard" is pretty disingenuous to the history of synthesizers in general.
If the piano-style keyboard weren't already the most popular musical layout in the world, it's likely some other form of musical expression would be the norm for synths instead.
It's a shame that's not the case, since keyboards do not offer the range of articulation and expression a wind or string instrument does.
i have a keyboard and a padKontrol (drum pads), you can play the same sounds with each but the expression is different for each type of controller. Each type of device encourages you to play different things, different patterns, to think in a different way. I would think that the difference would be even more apparent when comparing a keyboard to a wind controller.
Yeah. If you can't play Piano, what use is an electric Keyboard? :P It's a chance for classical wind instrumentalists, like Flautists, to get a chance to play something they wouldn't, like rock music XD
hey when your on a buget of like a 150 dollars and dont have ajob cause your only 16....yeah 700's a lot....and i think they stole my idea of an electric trumnpet, and me and my friend said the electric clarinet would be cool.....idk ttul
@Arcenicum ur not the only one, and i is our openion, u should play it on sax, acoustic is better! btw i play clarinet and this seems kinda funny, i prefer old skool instruments, if u want an electric instrument learn to play electric piano
@Arcenicum Most EWI's are actually very remarkable. They have the ability to mimic the sound of MANY instruments such as alto, tenor, bari and soprano sax, flute, clarinet, bassoon and even trumpet with staggering accuracy and can also create the electronic type of synthesizer sound. If you listen to Michael Brecker playing the EWI, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
@Arcenicum Yes you are ,are electric guitars better than acoustic ones ,are electronic organs better than acoustic ones ,is an electric piano better than a acoustic one .Not better, but different .And as you could have noticed on the right-hand side there are some( famous) musicians like Michael Brecker who bought it and used it . But you have probably never heard of him, but that is your problem .And yes you are the Moron you claim to be as you wrote on your homepage .
There is nothing ridiculous about it. You must understand that music is beautiful, no matter how it is made.
While you laugh, this person spent the time making beautiful sounds. The problem with people like you is that you are not able to produce anything and criticizing others seems to be your specialty.
Go read about the incredible sounds from the EWI4000s and try opening your mind.
LOL. Telling me that "people like me" don't produce anything. I am a guitarist, guitar teacher and guitar builder. That's right, I build my own guitars in unconventional ways. I laugh at people who make these incredibly stupid generalizations and claim I am not able to produce anything and have a closed mind.
You are right by the way that criticizing others is a specialty of mine. More people should think critically.
this is bad ass!

Am I the only one who thinks that an electric flute is totally ridiculous?
I wonder why people buy these things, are they better than "acoustic flutes"?
I don't care you play that thing, I've had a good time laughing.

Isn't that what they invented the keyboard for? Or can I just consider this a keyboard in flute-shape instead of piano-shape?
Arcenicum 3 years ago
yeah but with an EWI you can do breath phrasing and vibrato and it's cooler to watch someone play one than a keyboard
