Yamaha YVS-140 Tenor Venova Hybrid Wind Instrument

A fun new wind instrument that blends the simplicity of recorder with the sound of a saxophone. The Tenor Venova makes it easy for anyone—even beginners—to make gentle voice. With a "branched pipe" added to the cylindrical bore, the tone of a conical bore instrument (e.g., saxophone) is achieved in compact size. A meandering pipe is used to shrink the distance between tone holes for a simplified structure to minimize the use of keys. Easy fingering similar to recorders that is easy to play even for those who are new to wind instruments. The body made with ABS resin is durable and washable with water. With a Durable resin reed and synthetic pads (for key parts), cleaning is easy. The upper and lower sections of the body can be separated for easy cleaning. 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.
