Things break….and usually at the worst time. Case in point…..I had a gig literally 2 days before Christmas. I had a rehearsal for it 5 days before. No problem, packed up the saxophones, the flute, stands, and AE-30. Get to the rehearsal……no sound from the AE-30. Huh. Bad cable? No. It was turning on. Volume…
Having a 3D printer is a LOT of fun. Yes, you end up printing random shit, but at some point, you decide you want to fix a problem. My problem was getting some sort of stand adapter for an Aerophone AE-20 that would fit on my flute/clarinet peg. There was someone who made one for…
If you play the Aerophone solo, ie not in conjunction with like playing saxophone or something, I think the Aerophone stand you should get is the Koldot Digital Wind Instrument Holder.

Having a stand for your EWI is a good thing. For a while, I had a modified guitar stand for my EWI4000s I was using. I even had a little basket thing I 3D printed for it affixed to the stand. It was hacky, and not very portable. Fast forward to post COVID in California,…

Ok, so I bought a late Christmas present for myself. An Aerophone AE-30. Finally received it this week. So, first impressions. Good things first. I LOVE that they included a case. As a Akai EWI 4000 owner, it was a PAIN IN THE ASS to find a case for it. I did find a case…
