EWI Time

After many years being intrigued  by  the strange device that is the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) I finally have one in my possession.  After a week of playing it, I think I'm starting to get the hang of the slightly different finger technique, nine octaves and the mindset required to make it sound half decent!  I think it might be a while longer before I feel ready to subject anyone to hearing me play it but until then here is someone that can!

So what IS an electronic wind instrument? Is it like an electronic keyboard?

It is like a keyboard in that you can get lots of electronic sounds from it but you blow into it and use your fingers like a real saxophone.
