The Roland Aerophone AE-10G has arrived!

Windblowers are delighted to announce that the Roland Aerophone AE-10G has now arrived - and in stock!

Whilst there is currently limited stock due to the high demand, we now have a demonstration model so any interested parties are more than welcome to pop in and try it out.
Stocks will be filtering through as production increases.

Imagine how useful it would be to own a single wind instrument that delivers every sound that’s required. The Roland Aerophone AE-10G is a trailblazing digital wind instrument that fuses traditional sax fingering with the flexible onboard tones you need. Seasoned players will feel instantly at home with the familiar saxophone fingering system, responsive SuperNATURAL sounds, and a breath sensor that reacts like your favourite acoustic horn.

The Roland Aerophone AE-10G gives you a variety of additional acoustic instrument sounds like clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet, violin, and more, all powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL technology to faithfully match the behaviour of the originals. Even ethnic instruments like shakuhachi and erhu are on hand, offering authentic pitch and tonal fluctuations that echo their acoustic counterparts. Once you’ve tried the individual sounds, you can create one-man ensembles by layering multiple wind instrument sounds with the Brass Section setting.
