Yamaha Venova YVS-100 Wind Instrument

Yamaha Venova YVS-100 Wind InstrumentThe Venova is a great starting point to the world of woodwind instruments. Extremely affordable, lightweight and durable, it allows beginners to learn the basics of reed playing and fingering, and can act as the perfect springboard to the clarinet and saxophone. Yamaha say: To create the Venova, we developed innovative branched pipe technology which offers players a wide variety of ways to bring music into their life. The Venova can be taken anywhere.

The Venova can be taken anywhere

velvety sound

and a classic jazz sound

Unparalleled Expression

The Ultimate Ligature results in a more open and bigger sound

Some players prefer to sacrifice some of this purity for a richer 'multi dimensional' tone where harmonic layers can be more easily exploited

Artists tend to prefer the Professional Signature Series reeds as these reeds are a great deal more responsive in all registers

without that thinness that can sometimes creep into this register

allowing the player's unique sound to shine without imposing too much of their own character

and they have a warm and colourful sound

we now have something closer to the classic Mark VI soprano sound

but what impressed me was the smoothness in tone
