Hi,

I am interested in buying an Akai EWI USB (one Santa's gift from me to me ); Is it a toy or a reliable instrument?
There is another model, the EWI4000S, but it is so much expensive for my novice purposes.
The EWI is cheaper, and is on my budget. Here I will pay something like US$ 600,00. Hey, I lnow YOU can buy itfor about US$ 100,00, BUT NOT in Brazil (customs, taxes and so ooooon). Anyway, if reliable, I am interested.

Problem is, I supose, that keys are not keys that you press, but eletronic contact switches, that is, not necessary to press them. If you ONLY touch acidentally any key, it will take effect. Never tried one of these instruments, but, watching the image, I can supose that problem.
Well, I need some oppinions from people that plays those kind of instrument. I supose Bob Notes, and few other forum friends play them.
