Man, I love living in the future! These are super cool looking, hopefully they have a fairly realistic sound. The trumpet looks like some kind of covert spy weapon.
The further we get into emulations of real instruments makes you wonder if they will one day take the place of the real thing. Probably not in our lifetime if they do. Technological evolution with the best intentions

for all of you on a budget there's always the Casio DH100:


that looks like a saxamophone though.
