Nyle Steiner, the inventor of the EWI and EVI, will convert an EWI to an EVI.  The cost of this service is estimated at $150-$200. You must provide him with an EWI controller (EWI3000 or later) and he will "gut" it and put the innards into a newly redesigned EVI body. The final product will be a controller that is compatible with the newer EWI sound modules.

The new EVI body is made of plastic, is lighter, easier to manufacture, and is about 3" wide (more room for expansion. He said if you close your eyes it feels the same in your hands as the old EVI.

One caveat:  Nyle is a very busy guy, so do contact him with that in mind.  The wait time for a converted EVI or MIDI EVI can be substantial.
