Every wind sound you need, in one expressive instrument you can practise silently. The Roland Aerophone AE-20W is the Pearl White version of the Aerophone AE-20 digital wind instrument. Roland says it delivers the playability and expression of the top Aerophone Pro in a more compact, streamlined design. It suits saxophone and other wind players, hobbyists and producers.
