Voil la description avec la partie du ticket modifie pour l'inclure dans le package : --- **AKAI EWI1000(初期型コントローラー)— Michael Brecker直筆サイン入り/2001年モントリオール・ジャズ・フェス来歴** **概要** - **モデル**:AKAI **EWI1000**(コントローラー本体のみ。音源モジュールは付属しません) - **状態**:全体は**良好**。ストラップフック部にサビ(一般的なストラップ対応の改造歴あり) - **特別な価値**:2001年当日に**透明保護フィルム**で封印した"Mike Brecker"直筆サイン。現在も鮮明です。 **希少性と来歴** > 「私自身の入念な調査の限り、Michael Breckerが"実際に手に取り、サインまでした"AKAI EWIは本品のみです。オートグラフ・コレクション、各種オークション記録、コレクターのネットワークでも他例は確認できません。この希少性こそが、本機に歴史的な重みと唯一無二の価値を与えています。」 > 「これは"ただのEWI1000"ではありません。2001年7月のモントリオール・ジャズ・フェスティバルで、Michael Brecker本人が手に取り、数分間エア演奏した後、私のためにサインを入れてくれた"その個体"です。サインはその夜から保護フィルムで守られています。」 **個人的エピソード** **2001年7月、モントリオール・ジャズ・フェス**で、このEWI1000をMichaelに見せたところ、彼は笑顔で「**初期のEWIは久しぶりだね**」と語り、**アンプに繋がず"エア演奏"のように数分間**手に取りました。冗談半分、そして**かつての相棒を思い出すように**扱った後、ボディに **"Mike Brecker"** とサインを入れてくれました。私はその夜のうちにサイン部分を透明フィルムで保護し、以来このEWIは**未演奏・大切に保管**しています。 私にとって、そして多くのファンにとって、**初期型EWIにBreckerの直筆サイン**があるという事実は、**"Jimi Hendrixのサイン入りフェンダー・ストラト"を持つのと同じくらい特別です。これは単なる機材ではなく、まさに音楽史**の一部です。 **なお、当夜のコンサートチケットにも実はBreckerご本人のサインが入っております。サインの来歴・信憑性の証明として、このチケットも本セットに含めてお譲りいたします。つまり、落札者様はBreckerのサインを2つ、しかも彼自身が世に広めたその楽器本体とともに手にすることができます。** **歴史的背景** - **EWI1000**はAKAI初の市販ウィンド・コントローラー(一般に**EWV2000**アナログ音源と組み合わせ)。 - Michael BreckerはEWIの第一人者で、**Steps Ahead「In a Sentimental Mood」(1986年・東京ライヴ)**などで世界にその表現力を示しました。その後も『Return of the Brecker Brothers』や『Out of the Loop』など多くの作品で使用。 **付属・コンディション** - 外観:年式相応の小キズあり/**サイン面は極めて良好**。 - 機能:**コレクター品**としての出品(最近の動作確認は行っていません)。 - 付属:本体、**サイン入りコンサートチケット**(音源モジュール/ケースなし)。 **価格・お取引** - **即決**:**398000円** - **発送**:**丁寧に梱包**して発送します。サイン入りチケットも同梱いたします。 - **注意**:**ヴィンテージのコレクター品につき現状渡し。ノークレーム・ノーリターン**でお願いします。 --- **English version:** **Akai EWI1000 (First-Generation Controller) — Signed by Michael Brecker / Provenance: Montreal Jazz Festival 2001** **Overview** - **Model**: Akai **EWI1000** controller only (no sound module). - **Condition**: Overall **good**; strap hook has rust from a past strap modification. - **Special Value**: Genuine **"Mike Brecker" autograph** sealed under protective film since 2001; still clear and intact today. **Rarity & Provenance** > "To my knowledge after extensive research, this is the only Akai EWI ever held and signed by Michael Brecker. No other examples have surfaced in autograph collections, auction archives, or collector networks. That rarity adds powerful uniqueness and historical weight to this instrument." > "This is not a generic EWI1000. It is the specific instrument Michael Brecker held and signed for me in July 2001 at the Montreal Jazz Festival; he even 'air-played' it for several minutes before signing. The signature has been preserved under film since that night." **Personal Story** At the **Montreal Jazz Festival in July 2001**, I brought this EWI1000 to Michael. He smiled and said, *"I haven't seen one of these early ones in a long time."* Then he **"air-played" it for several minutes**, unplugged—half joking, half as if he were **revisiting the feel of an old companion**. After that, he signed **"Mike Brecker"** on the body. That same night, I sealed the autograph with clear protective film, and ever since, the EWI has been **untouched and preserved as a collector's piece**. For me—and for many fans—owning a **Brecker-signed first-generation EWI** is like owning a **Fender Stratocaster signed by Jimi Hendrix**. It's not just an instrument; it's a piece of **music history**. **As it happens, the concert ticket from that same night also carries Brecker's own signature. To provide clear provenance and authenticity for the instrument's signature, this ticket is included in the sale — meaning the winning bidder receives two Brecker autographs, alongside the very instrument he helped make iconic.** **Historical Context** - The **EWI1000** was Akai's first commercial wind controller (typically paired with the **EWV2000** analog module). - Michael Brecker was the pioneer who brought the EWI to the world, most famously in *Steps Ahead "In a Sentimental Mood" (Tokyo, 1986)*, and later across albums like *Return of the Brecker Brothers* and *Out of the Loop*. **Condition / What's Included** - Appearance: age-appropriate wear; **signature area excellent** under film. - Function: sold as a **collector's item** (not recently tested). - Included: controller, **signed concert ticket** (no module/case). **Price/Deal** - **Buy It Now**: **¥398000** - **Shipping**: Packed **carefully boxed**. Signed ticket included. - **Note**: **Vintage collector item, sold as-is. No claim, no return.**

Proxy bidding and purchasing services are becoming increasingly convenient. However, overseas shopping carries certain risks and issues. To reduce these risks and enhance shopping safety, please be sure to read the following information:

1. International Shipping

   Air Freight: If the item status is not confirmed within two days after the arrival notice, any customer complaints cannot be addressed with the seller.

2. After Receiving the Product

Please confirm and inspect the product as soon as possible to ensure that the product specifications, quantity, accessories, and description are correct

If, unfortunately, there are any issues, you can refer to the following examples on how to report related product problems:
1. Example of missing product information
2. Example of product not matching provided information
3. Example of damaged product information

Important Notes: 1. If the seller is unwilling to ship overseas or is unaware that the product will be shipped overseas, the international shipping cost for returns or exchanges will need to be borne by the member. You may refer to the EMS e-Express fee inquiry from the post office. If it involves alcoholic beverages or items that affect flight safety, the post office cannot be used for shipment, and only DHL can be used to ship back to Japan.
2. During the product complaint handling period, please retain the complete outer packaging of the product (including the shipping label information), and refrain from attempting any repairs or altering the original condition. Any modifications may result in the inability to process the case.

3. After Inspecting the Product

After receiving and inspecting the item, if you have any questions, it is recommended to contact Letao within 2 hours. Here are some reminders:

1. Please do not unpack, use or repair the received item yourself, and be sure to keep the original packaging to facilitate subsequent handling of related matters, so as to avoid changes to the item that may cause the seller to be unwilling to process.

2. You can call customer service, and the customer service will leave a message for you as below. Please provide the following information:
"Hello, we will first help you establish a complaint case for Product ID: _______ .But we need you to 2-3 clear photos of the product issue, including photos of the product problem, product packaging, shipping details slip, and outer box.

Important Notes:
1. Do not include foreign text or other products in the background of the image.
2. Please keep the complete product packaging (including the shipping label information), and refrain from repairing or altering the original condition on your own, as any changes may result in the case being unable to be processed.
3. Please provide the relevant information within 48 hours to avoid missing the golden hour for reflection and causing situations that cannot be handled.
4. Due to 99% of Japanese sellers being unwilling or unaware of shipping goods overseas, if a seller is willing to handle the issue, the goods must be sent back to Japan, and the international shipping costs incurred must be borne by the member. Letao will use postal EMS international express to send the goods back to Japan.
5. As the goods are purchased from overseas, it may take approximately one to two weeks to complete the relevant processing procedures when issues arise with the goods. Please be reminded that you can inquire about the approximate cost through the EMS service at the post office.

4. FAQ

1. Issue of Authenticity: If antique or branded goods are found to be counterfeit upon receipt, clear photos showing the differences between the genuine product and the imitation must be provided as evidence. If unable to provide relevant proof, assistance can be sought to find a third-party reputable organization for a premium authentication service .
2. Leaking Iron Teapot: If an antique iron teapot is leaking, please take clear photos of the leaking area and provide them.
3. Transport Damage: If the goods are damaged during international shipping (to the pickup point), you need to provide photos of the outer packaging of the parcel and clear photos of the damaged goods' outer packaging.
