An electronic saxophone?? | Aerophone AE-20 unboxing/review

Roland recently sent me their newest Aerophone AE-20 to check out so here is my review!

This thing is so sick. The Aerophone has to be the easiest out-of-the-box wind synth to play. You just turn it on and start playing. No sensors and rollers that you have to get used to, tons of great sounds already on board, and endless amounts of customization. I really was blown away by how comfortable and easy it is to play.

I forgot to talk about price in the video so here's a little bit about that. Brand new they retail for $999 and I think it's worth every penny. Most people that play EWIs will pay $700+ for a used EWI 4000 which is considered the "holy grail" but though they're no longer made. I think it makes way more sense to spend $200 more and get a brand new instrument with way better ergonomics that you can load the same sounds and more onto. There are a few other Aerophone models ranging from $300-$1600 that could also be worth checking out. Although I haven't personally played them so I can't speak on how they compare.

Anyways, let me know what videos you want me to make with the Aerophone! I have a few ideas (Aerophone only covers, playing the Aerophone on Omegle etc) but I'd love to hear what you guys think. Thanks for watching!
