It’s not possible to say which is the “BEST” wind controller. It’s a matter of what is best for YOU. The Akai EWI series, Yamaha WX series, and Synthophone are all amazing and highly expressive instruments though they have slightly different design philosophies. Everyone has their own preferences depending on their personal tastes so this is a question that can only be answered by each individual after they decide what it is they wish to accomplish with the wind controller and research the options available to them. Also note that an appropriate MIDI sound source / module is also required to complete the system. The EWI4000s has a virtual analog type synth built into the controller. More on this is elsewhere in this Wind Controller FAQ. Currently there are four major woodwind style wind controllers in production- the Akai EWI4000s, the Akai EWI USB, the Yamaha WX5, and the Softwind Synthophone. The handmade and more expensive Softwind Synthophone is an excellent controller though it is
