It has similar functionality to the Casio DH-100; it is a MIDI woodwind controller that uses recorder-style fingering, but it is smaller, lighter, more configurable, and more expressive thanks to its onboard accelerometer. It uses MIDI via Bluetooth rather than a wired MIDI connection. Above all, it costs less in real terms than the Casio did in 1989.
