I started with 2 Casio horns and I used to love the Flute fingering which has D,E,F, and G above High C just by lifting your first finger and playing the higher note without having to touch the octave key. I read in the manual these fingerings are the same on the Sylphyo. I Love the aerophone 10G for natural sounds and the Solo for the syn sounds and the rollers make the lower octave sounds great. The aerophone was clinky because the side of my hands near the index fingers used to always touch and squeak. I have large piano player hands so people should be aware this can happen if you have smaller hands and that's why they changed it on the next smaller model. I needed the 2 speakers so I used my dremel to cut off the tops of 6 side keys, Top 3 side keys on each side cut off half way and the problems are over and you still have All the keys the EWI Solo does??? Now I can really get around those Classical midi pieces and I don,t plan on selling it. The first three days I got the EWI Solo I felt like sending it back because its so different from the Roland but day after day I began to love it, especially for the lower octaves and the Syn sounds. I'm sure the Sylphyo will take some getting used to but Its gonna be my 3rd and last wind controller?

Well I ordered it Tuesday and am waiting for it to ship to CT, USA. I hope there is NO ban on sending things here?

I just like to sight read song after song and the less wires the better, that's why I like the 10G and Solo BUT I rarely use headphones so using them with a Bose soundlink and my computer 5.1 logitech system with sub woofer is perfect at around 70 Decibels. Your online manual short video's are excellent, I will keep considering?

Question? With my aerophone 10G I can listen thru headphones (1/4 inch connection) and play along with Band in a Box thru a 1/8th input connection to the computer. The 10G has the 1/4 connector for headphones and a line in 1/8th input connector. Can I do this with the sylphyo ??? I'm not sure.

Well I love the aerophone 10G and the sound, flute, violin, harmonica, trumpet is Great and I'm a Trumpet major whose played woodwinds for years. The EWI Solo key layout to me is terrible as far as the g# side key and overall I like the aerophone better for playing fast classical stuff BUT the EWI Solo has some great syn sounds and sound great down a octave or more sometimes. At 71 I can afford ALL three and the winters are long. I just want to use the internal sounds with a speaker or small amp . Will it be hindered by Not having the wireless thing? Less wires the better for me and I don't need wireless at my age. The important thing is the expressive qualities like staccato, legato, crescendo, fast and double/triple tonguing, etc. How would you rate it?

I have a Roland Aerophone 10G and a AKAI EWI Solo and am interested in this because it kind of fits the Gaps between the 2 others. Is it worth $800 US or should I wait for the New version with mouthpiece sensors I hear about. Would you buy it again?
