DescriptionThe Yamaha G10 is a MIDI controller that departs dramatically from a traditional guitar. All the strings are tuned to the same pitch, and it is not capable of producing music independent of a Digital Audio Workstation – it is simply a guitar-type controller. It has a breath attachment accessory that lets the player use their own breath for duration and articulation, ultimately combining a wind, string, and electronic instrument all in one.

Includes jack for breath controller. Complete outfit including MIDI controller, converter, and operating manual. Includes a breath attachment that lets the player use their own breath for duration and articulation, ultimately combining a wind, string, and electronic instrument all in one.
