The Nyle Steiner EWI4000s Prototype

Nyle Steiner Travels to Akai Japan

In early 2004 Nyle Steiner traveled to Japan and delivered a new EWI prototype to the Akai engineers. As with past EWI models Nyle consulted with Akai on this latest project in what was to become the amazing new Akai EWI4000s. This page gives you a glimpse into the some of the work Steiner did to help develop this new EWI4000s model which was based on his prototypes. Special thanks to Nyle Steiner and Michael Brecker for providing many of the photos.

We hope you enjoy this page!
