Well made. Beautiful design. Good tone for such a small built-in speaker. Have not used it as a MIDI controller yet, but planning to do so. Terrific price.

It's lightweight and well presented in it's box and comes with a carry pouch.Sounds-wise it's OK, the different voices offer variety but some are definitely better than others and they all sound a bit 1980's.The keys are responsive, the lower two have split pads for C# and D# and the thumb pad is split for access to the upper register. I don't like that the keys are flush with the surface, it means that you have to actually look where you're placing your fingers when first picking the instrument up to play it, if they had been recessed a little it would offer something closer to the feel of the real thing.The breath sensitivity is adjustable and it works but it has distinct switching points, there isn't infinite variability on the volume, more like a series of steps especially at the lower end.There is some latency between playing the note and hearing it, but it's not too annoying and it can be lived with.The transpose feature could be useful and works fine.I had bought one of these previously and left a critical review because neither of the fingering schemes matched a real recorder. I sent mine back. But curiosity prompted me to revisit and I bought another whilst they were on cheap.They must have updated the firmware because this one does have correct fingering according to the Baroque style, albeit the fingering that usually appears as alternative 1 or 2 on most fingering charts. Bb is the most awkward, requiring an extra finger to what is the usual but it is a valid finger pattern and I've pretty much adjusted to it after an hour of play.A big attraction of this instrument for is the ability to play silently with headphones, but even with the volume on the lowest it can be a bit loud in the headphones (but that's my ears I guess).It connects easily to Pocket Piano Pro on Android and enables play through the phone and recording to midi with that app. But as has been pointed out with bluetooth, the latency is quite noticeable.One thing I forgot mention in my initial review is that the amount of air needed to play this instrument is much lower than that required for a real recorder. On this I can easily play sequences of 30 seconds or more without needing to take a breath. So it does allow a more flowing style of play. This feature could be very useful for people suffering with respiratory issues.I really like it.

"The Muzic Store Inc" seller is awesome/helpful! When my package went missing, the seller shipped me a replacement and was very responsive and helpful. I am so grateful. Sadly, the instrument (carry-on digital recorder) was not so great. The recorder makes a horrible buzzing/static noise which is constant while recorder is turned on. You can even hear it when the recorder is on lower volumes (which is largely why I wanted digital recorder in first place, to play on low volume). So, recorder bad, Seller good (Thank you Muzic Store Inc!)

Good: the notes are always on tune (slight off tune on the 2 highest notes when tested). Controls and menu easy to use and understand. Looks and feels good. Notes good to finger except I had a hard time with the position of the little finger (old hands). Ability to play quiet and silent with earphones nice.Not so good: the voices are not very natural, even the recorder.Not good at all: after about 3 days, the output sound developed a moderate steady hiss, severely lessening the musical experience. I used it exactly as instructed so no idea why this happened. I suspect the output stage is under engineered. I notice there are models that look identical; some are a little more expensive, some are 1/2 price from AliExpress. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have bought the cheap one and repaired it as needed.Received a full refund, which is why 3 stars.

This is an amazing instrument for the price. Not sure why folks are complaining. I have an Akai EWI (electronic woodwind instrument) that costs four times as much, is five times harder to use, will not work stand alone, and does not sound any better. In short the "carry on" is a fantastic product.If you know woodwind keying (which I do) you can pick it up and play in 5 minutes, otherwise you will need to learn the notes as you would a recorder. It is about as easy to learn.The "carry on" can be used alone with no other sound or midi device. Alone, it is just as loud as a typical recorder. It plays 3 octaves and it has maybe 7 distinct instrument sounds (e.g., a recorder, trumpet, clarinet, sax, and oboe). You can easily link it to any small external speaker (with a small phono plug). I use it with a Bose and a Sony small speakers designed for i-phones/ipads, and the sound fills up a large room. I also link it (with an adapted guitar cord) to a small guitar amp and I can add reverb and easily fill a small recital hall. While not a true professional instrument it comes pretty close. It is at least as good or better than a regular recorder or Irish whistle or a mid price EWI (costing $500).One of the best features is that the carry on has built in Bluetooth that you can link to "MIDI" based apps. Once I figured out where to look on the app, it took me 1 minute to link it to all of the music software on my IPAD (i.e., garage band, music studio, cubasis, sample tank). For example in Garage Band, you click on the "gear wheel" setting button (top right for the screen), then go to advanced, and after you turn on the instrument's bluetooth, it shows up below the garage band's "bluetooth midi device". Once you link it, it plays on garage band just as easily as the built in keyboard.After you link the carry on to any of your IPAD (or computer) apps you can make use of all of the built in sounds in your software. For example, using garage band on my Ipad (which I also linked to the above speakers or amp for concert level volume) I now have access to all the garage band sounds like guitar, piano, flute, and drum kit. With the music studio app (including the woodwind add on pack) I have access to over 125 different sounds including 25+ different woodwinds, which sound just about as good as any high end EWI instrument. Voila, with this $95 instrument (and your Ipad or iphone) and small speaker or guitar amp) you have a semi professional EWI instrument for fun and possibly even playing in public.This "EWI" offers a whole new way of playing that goes well beyond the built in IPAD key board or even an external keyboard. And this carry on is the best entry level access to the world of electronic MIDI music to all of us who are woodwind players.So this is now my favorite instrument. You will have almost no learning curve if you previously played, clarinet, flute, recorder or sax. And if you played none of these before, there is no easier way to get started in the new world of digital woodwinds as a complement to your other instruments.

bon, soyons honête, je l'ai acheté à la faveur d'un bon tarif dans la section "seconde main" d'Amazon, alors que le truc était en réalité tout neuf.J'avais déjà lu les commentaires sur cette espèce de "flute" électronique, donc j'ai acheté en connaissance de cause.Je précise donc que j'ai acheté parce que je l'ai eu moins cher, que je suis très geek; sans doute plus geek que musicien d'ailleurs, et que ça a surtout attiré ma curiosité.donc en réalité, ce truc est minion comme tout, hyper petit à transporter et ranger.Ca ne prendra pas trop de place dans votre tirroir au bout de deux minutes de jouer avec, oui, parce que vous allez bien vite hélas vous en lasser totalement.à mon sens, c'est pratiquement injouable. je m'y attendais un peu mais tel est le cas hélas, je ne suis pas franchement flutiste non plus..En revanche, j'aurais espéré que ça puisse quand même être plus réactif niveau sensibilité au souffle ou vibrato, ou que sais-je pour au moins générer des sons amusant ou totalement foutracs, à défaut d'être musicalCa pourrait faire son effet un bidule comme ça pour en live générer des sons amusant ou aléatoires. non ici, pas du tout.On a le choix entre 10 sonorités très "Bontempi", le souffle influe tout au plus sur le volume, et encore.C'est regrettable, je pense qu'il y aurait des trucs à faire en terme d'instruments à vent midi pour faire de l'électro, surtout que cette "flute" fait son petit effet.Elle ne joue même pas faut, mais le doighté donne des résultats assez aléatoire et c'est tout simplement peu jouables.Vu le pris d'une vrai flute à bec, je ne vois pas trop l'intérêt de celle-ci.

Ich spiele hobbymäßig Blockflöte und habe nach einem Instrument gesucht, auf dem ich ohne große Umgewöhnung auf Reisen leise üben kann. Der schon seit ein paar Jahren erhältliche re.corder von ARTinoise bietet zwar prinzipiell diese Möglichkeit. Er hat mich jedoch wegen seines umständlichen Bedienkonzepts und seiner technischen Unzuverlässigkeit enttäuscht. Dann entdeckte ich das neu entwickelte DWI von Carry-on und habe es gleich bei Amazon bestellt.Dieses digitale Instrument macht von der Verarbeitung her einen ordentlichen Eindruck und liegt trotz seiner kantigen Form wie eine Sopranblockflöte in der Hand. Außerdem rollt es nicht vom Tisch.Der im Lieferumfang enthaltene waschbare Silikon-Überzug für das Mundstück ist nützlich, ebenso das mit 120 cm Länge komfortable USB-Ladekabel für den eingebauten Akku. Der gefällig gemachte Transportbeutel aus Stoff rundet das Zubehör sinnvoll ab.Sofort nach dem Einschalten ist das Instrument spielbereit. Der Ton wird direkt durch den auf der Oberseite eingebauten Lautsprecher wiedergegeben. Alternativ gibt es eine Klinkenbuchse für einen Kopfhörer. So kann man ohne zusätzliche App überall spielen, bei Bedarf auch völlig lautlos.Als Blockflötenspieler findet man sich bei diesem Instrument rasch mit den meisten Griffen zurecht. Statt Tonlöchern gibt es flache Griffmulden, die sich relativ gut ertasten lassen. Ihre Ränder dürften jedoch ruhig etwas kantiger sein. Die Sensoren sprechen auch bei den „Doppellöchern“ sicher an, verlangen aber für saubere Tonfolgen eine exakte Grifftechnik. Das ist kein Nachteil. Ein paar Griffe funktionieren auch bei eingestellter barocker Griffweise anders als von der Blockflöte gewohnt und erfordern eine gewisse Eingewöhnung. Durch eine Verstärkung oder Verringerung des Blasdrucks lässt sich die Lautstärke in begrenztem Umfang beeinflussen. Die Tonhöhe verändert sich dabei nicht. Weitere spieltechnische Einflussmöglichkeiten auf den Klangcharakter gibt es nicht; das ist realistischerweise auch nicht zu erwarten. Der Klang der digitalen Instrumente wirkt recht künstlich, aber das ist angesichts des günstigen Preises akzeptabel.Alle verfügbaren Einstellungen lassen sich sehr einfach mittels weniger Tasten auf der Geräteunterseite vornehmen. Einmal eingerichtet muss das Instrument zum Spielen nur eingeschaltet und nach dem Spielen wieder ausgeschaltet werden.Die Midi-Funktion habe ich nicht ausprobiert, da sie für mich nicht relevant ist. Vermutlich kann man den Ton auch analog über den Kopfhörerausgang und ein Mischpult aufnehmen.Selbst nach längerem Spielen verstopft das DWI nicht durch die kondensierte Atemfeuchtigkeit, wie es bei analogen Blockflöten oft der Fall ist. Allerdings tropft an der kleinen Öffnung am unteren Ende des Instruments etwas Spucke heraus, darauf sollte man gefasst sein. Ein Putzstab gehört nicht zum Lieferumfang, und in der knapp gefassten Bedienungsanleitung wird auch nichts davon erwähnt, dass das Instrument ausgewischt werden muss. Anscheinend genügt es, dieses in Spielpausen trocknen zu lassen.Mein Fazit nach mehren Wochen umfangreicher Spielpraxis: Für mich ist das DWI von Carry-on seinen Preis wert. Es erfüllt meine Erwartungen als Hobbyspieler voll und ganz. Die z. T. äußerst negativen Bewertungen anderer Rezensenten kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Carry-on hat ein kostengünstiges blockflötenartiges elektronisches Instrument entwickelt, das sich einfach handhaben lässt und zuverlässig funktioniert (was es meines Wissens zurzeit bei keinem anderen Hersteller gibt). Das DWI kann und soll keine hochwertige Blockflöte ersetzen und kein Profi-Instrument sein. Zum gelegentlichen leisen Üben und zum Musizieren „just for fun“ eignet es sich aber bestens.

First of all, I'll stop with the bad things. The trumpet is Super Nintendo quality, some of the instruments are clearly MIDI, and out of the three saxophone sounds, only number 6 is good.Also, it is easy to play a wrong note. But it has a nice adjustable volume, and the flute/recorder/penny whistle sounds are very high quality.So I find this to be a good training wheel to an acoustic instrument, but generally would not recommend this as a replacement-but it is fun to jam on.

Supera mis expectativas. Un instrumento ligero y portable con sonido agradable, poder conectar auriculares y MIDI bluetooth.. responde muy bien a la sensibilidad del intérprete al soplar. Me encanta. Le doy un 10 en todo. Relación precio calidad excepcional. La batería perfecta también. Echo de menos una caja rígida para transporte de viaje pero ahora se la hago con la impresora 3d... Enhorabuena...Ls pena es que bajo 20 euros su precio nada más recibirla... Suerte para el siguiente
