A fun instrument

By Hyurk

Rated 4 out of 5

I am not a pro musician, and I want to play a wind instrument as a hobby without disturbing others. I have chosen EWI Solo, after considering EWI 5000 and Roland models. The build quality is much better than expected, despite many negative reviews in the internet. I like the touch-sensitive keys and the octave rollers. It does require some serious practice to be able to play comfortably, and I have already found many minor quirks that are not necessarily deal breakers. I think built-in sounds are mostly acceptable, but not great. I exchanged the initial unit after the B&H customer service noted that the flashing charging light should become solid when charging is done. It turned out that the second unit behaves the same as the first one.

Will it work when connected to USB even if battery power is exhausted ?

Asked by: Dan

Yes, connecting to USB will power the EWI Solo and charge its battery as well
