"EVI Steiner Steinerphone Valve Instrument / EWI / E.V.I / Sax / SynthThis is a very rare and limited production Steinerphone in good shape (see photos)
Buyer only receives what is in the photo
Around 1984-1985, Nyle Steiner designs and produces by hand a very small number of EVI and EWI "Steinerphones" for top professionals.
The EVI Steinerphone (brass fingering version) built into a small attache case is the first model he makes.
After several woodwind players ask for one, he designs an EWI model as well. One of the most famous players to play it is Michael Brecker. He featured the EWI Steinerphone on several recordings both solo and with Steps Ahead and others. Check out the 1986 Steps Ahead "Live In Japan" DVD (ID5736ERDVD) for some amazing Steinerphone playing!Some units were interfaced to a JL Cooper MIDI Wind Driver Box (heavily modded by Steiner) to provide MIDI OUT capabilities to drive additional MIDI synths.
I am not sure which model this one is..."
