Yamaha Venova Casual Wind Instrument - Tenor

Experience the Joy of Creating Music - The Yamaha Casual Wind Instrument - Tenor

The Yamaha Casual Wind Instrument - Tenor is the latest addition to the Venova family. It is designed to be lightweight and portable, making it convenient to carry around. Additionally, its water washable feature ensures effortless cleaning. With a simple fingering system resembling recorders, this instrument offers a user-friendly experience. Despite its accessibility, the Tenor Venova is a genuine instrument that produces a rich and expressive tone akin to a saxophone. It possesses a fully chromatic two octave range, allowing for versatile musical exploration. With the Tenor Venova, players can indulge in their favorite tunes while enjoying the resonant voice that characterizes this particular model. Furthermore, beginners will find it particularly accessible, as the largest Venova variant produces a very low pitch that is easy to play, even for novices.

• Unique branched pipe design: 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.
• Meandering pipe: 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.
• Durable, easy-to-care-for materials: 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.
• Two-piece body: The upper and lower sections of the body can be separated for easy cleaning.
