Yamaha YVS-120 Alto Venova

The Perfect Introduction To Reed Instrument Playing

The Venova is a completely new type of wind instrument that offers the expressiveness of a single reed instrument (such as a clarinet or saxophone) whilst using a simple recorder-like fingering system. Easy to maintain and extremely durable, the Venova is compact and light in weight, allowing you to enjoy music anywhere.

Easy to start

Rich, expressive tone like saxophones and a full blowing sensation Spans a range of two octaves even with its simple structure

Branched Pipe

With a branched pipe added to the cylindrical bore, the tone of a conical bore instrument (e.g., saxophone) is achieved in compact size.

Meandering pipe

A meandering pipe is used to shrink the distance between tone holes for a simplified structure to minimise the use of keys. The Venova features easy fingering similar to recorders that is easy to play even for those who are new to wind instruments.

Durable, easy-to-handle material

The ABS resin body is durable and washable with water. With a Durable resin reed and synthetic pads (for key parts), cleaning is straightforward.

Two-piece body

The upper and lower sections of the body can be separated for easy cleaning.

Easy to start

In addition to the owner’s manual, the Let’s Play Venova! guidebook includes tips on posture, sound production, and controlling pitch and tone. It also contains sample songs. Even those who are completely new to wind instruments can have fun while learning.
