Yamaha YVS-100 Venova Casual Wind Instrument w/ Case Included
Venova is a new type of wind instrument that's fun to play and sounds like a saxophone.
Easy to learn, easy to play- Lightweight and portable
- Water washable so it's easy to clean
- Simple fingering similar to recorders
- Rich, expressive tone that plays and sounds like a saxophone
- Fully chromatic two octave range
The Venova sounds the way it does because of the unique "branched pipe" tube that's added to the body. This extra piece changes the tone from a cylindrical instrument (like a recorder) into the sound of a more conical instrument like a saxophone.
The body of the Venova is bent into a "meandering pipe" structure. This shortens the distance between the tone holes and makes it possible to play all the notes with very few keys. The result is a simpler fingering system that's similar to a recorder and easier to learn even for people who've never played a wind instrument before.
The ABS resin body is durable and can be washed with water. In addition, the included mouthpiece, synthetic resin reed, and synthetic pads are also water-safe, so cleaning the Venova is easy.
