Collection: Electronic Wind Instrument

professional instrument, reasonable cost, free shipping, nice carrying case, I love it!

My original thumb hook was cracked and broke off right away. This replacement did the job for me. A replacement by the manufacturer was not offered.

I loveeeee this thing! I used to play trumpet in college and wanted to back on track on doing music,the greaten ap300 pro is excellent for that you can conect your phone via Bluetooth and practice with the youtube backing tracks, its simple, sounds great and motivates you to keep practicing, honestly i loooving it! It's not easy specially when changing octaves but hey you just need to practice :)

Very nice. Not too complicated to learn for a beginner. It will be great if it has an instructions booklet showing those keys functions and provide few easy songs for buyi to learn.

I am new to dwi’s but am very happy so far. I am spending around an hour a day playing. Would love to find a fingering chart for every way to play every note. It would come in very handy for old timers like me. I’m 76 and haven’t played much of anything since high school.

!00% Necessary.

I've bounced between a Roland AE-20 and EWI 5000, but sold the EWI due to some problems, including no speaker, limited realistic instruments, hard blowing leading to exhaustion and horrible noises if my right thumb came off the metal plate. Then, I saw the AP300 Pro on YouTube and purchased one. My problems with the EWI 5000 were gone, and I enjoy playing this instrument very much. The "real" instrument sounds are quite convincing, the thumb grounding problem does not exist, and blowing is more comfortable. EWI fingerings work perfectly. Contrary to some online comments, the AP-300 Pro has no click to the keys at all. They are stationary. Service and repair have not been needed, so no comment there. All things considered, this is a very good bargain!

The EWI was a great value and I am enjoying learning to play it. The internal speaker is fine, but it sounds great through a 20 watt keyboard amp.

A great teaching tool

Vše došlo v pořádku, s nástrojem se teprve seznamuji proto nemohu adekvátně posoudit, ale na první dojem hraje skvěle.

I used to be able to play conventional wind instruments, but after reaching my 80s, arthritis and joint pains in my hands made it almost impossible. Any instrument that required the ability to curve my fingers around it was out of the question. Enter digital wind instruments.

Unlike Recorder flutes and Saxophones, many of the digital wind instruments have most of the keys or pads on a flat surface, no need to curve around.

The Greaten AP300 Pro fits that description and in the two months since it arrived, I have made good progress with it. While the internal speaker sounds better than many others I have heard, the included voices are really astounding when playing through my Fender 15 watt Acoustasonic amplifier or an inexpensive pair of over the ear headphones. I loaded the 4 memory banks with the clarinet, bassoon, cello, and saxophone voices. The cello voice with a bit of chorus and reverb dialed in really does justice to JS Bach!

Coming from conventional wind instruments where are you are taught to keep your fingers as close as possible or even touching the keys to reduce wasted finger motion, l had to unlearn that, because the finger pads on the Greaten like many other digital wind instruments are very sensitive, so if your fingers are too close, it's easy to accidentally play an unwanted tone. Also the roller octave will take some getting used to.

The internal rechargeable battery appears to last forever between charges.

I cannot attest to its midi properties, because I haven't tried it yet. I just enjoy playing it as a stand alone instrument.

Presently Greaten has limited presence in the US other than their fulfillment center in New Jersey, but their stellar communications via email more than make up for it (thanks Ms. Chen). The folks at Greaten usually respond to my emails within hours.

I also own a Roland Aerophone, which recently required an internal part that I was willing to pay for, but I went through hell over 2 months trying to communicate with them to obtain the needed part. That miserable after sales experience turned me from being a possible repeat customer into a shopper which is how I found and ended up purchasing my next instrument from Greaten.

Is the AP300 Pro perfect? Of course not. I doubt any digital instrument will meet everyone's needs 100%. There are always going to be a few trade-offs, but overall, I believe that the AP300 Pro meets most of my needs. It's good looking, well constructed, a solid value, and well worth the price. I play mine everyday, and have zero regrets.

If they ever come up with a version that was a little smaller and fit into an airplane carry-on suitcase or backpack, I would probably purchase it too, and keep both.

Thanks Greaten for a wonderful product.
