Nyle Steiner's RAD MIDI EWI
|
While Nyle Steiner traveled to
Japan and delivered a new EWI prototype to the Akai engineers
for what was to become the amazing new Akai
EWI4000s, he was also working on another
version of his instrument- the new Side-by-Side "RAD"
MIDI EWI! This page discusses this innovative new electronic
wind instrument.
Check in often as it will continue to expand. Special thanks to Nyle Steiner and the late great Michael Brecker for providing many of the photos.
We hope you enjoy this page!

Michael Brecker had two different versions of Nyle's MIDI EWI. One was the standard "in-line" hand position (click here for info). The other has a radical "RAD" design with the hands placed side by side. Here are some links and photos to Brecker playing the RAD EWI model...
