Roland AE-BRISA Electronic Wind Instrument

Play like you always have – sound like you never could. The Roland Aerophone Brisa is a digital wind instrument that combines the design and key layout of a traditional flute with the sounds and features of the Aerophone series. It suits flutists, other wind players and complete beginners who want many instrument voices, silent practice and easy connection to apps.

Why customers choose it

• Made for flute players: straight, lightweight body with responsive flute-style keys and an adjustable head joint for a comfortable playing angle.
• Natural breath control: a dual breath sensor system; you can switch octaves the flute way by directing your breath between the two mouthpiece holes.
• 100 onboard tones: flute family, sax, clarinet, trumpet, orchestral strings, world sounds like pan flute and shakuhachi, synths and drums – plus 48 user tones and favourites.
• Fingering for everyone: flute and trumpet modes, a Brisa mode suited to sax and recorder players and beginners, and special one-hand modes.
• Rich solo sound: add harmonies and drones; transpose to play any piece with your most comfortable fingering.
• Move to express: motion sensor for vibrato, pitch bend and other effects; thumb and S1/S2 buttons for extra colours.

Who it is for

Flute players who want new sounds, wind students practising at home with headphones, performers needing many wind voices from one instrument, and teachers introducing beginners to wind playing.

FAQ

Do I need to know flute embouchure?

No. Sound is made by blowing directly into the mouthpiece, which Roland says simplifies playing compared to a traditional flute.

Can a sax player use it?

Yes – the Brisa fingering mode is meant for saxophone and recorder players and beginners.
