Nuvo N120 Clarineo outfit - Black With Silver Trim

Introducing the Clarineo 2.0

Revolutionising the beginner woodwind market, Nuvo have created a fleet of instruments perfect for beginners in every way. Made from a combination of durable plastic and silicone, each instrument is ultra-lightweight and couldn't be easier to clean - simply rinse or bathe with soapy water, dry thoroughly and they're good to go!

The Nuvo Clarineo is a clarinet in the key of C and is perfect for beginners of all ages. As the instrument is much lighter and smaller than a Bb clarinet, finger stretches are shorter, and the tone holes are smaller. This all bodes well for players with smaller hands, will reduce fatigue and encourage more practice.

The Clarineo has a rich and mellow tone and a 3.5 octave range - that's enough to play Mozart's Clarinet Concerto! And, although it is in the key of C which allows the player to join in with an ensemble of any other Nuvo or C instrument, the fingering is the same as a standard Bb clarinet, so the transition is quick and easy once the student is ready.

Have you seen the Nuvo WindStars books?

WindStars is a book-based program featuring Nuvo instruments, aiming to offer a simple, effective, and affordable way for junior school kids to experience playing music together. The idea of a WindStars instrument is to give children a feel for what it would be like to play the real thing. The simplified nature of each instrument allows for skills to develop more quickly, introducing a class or individual to what playing a wind instrument feels like.

Progressing through a program specially put together by music professionals, students are able to play a musical instrument and develop a love for ensemble music at an early age. Better still, supporting materials including videos, backing tracks and print files available to download for free at Nuvo WindStars, making the program even more vibrant, exciting and useful!

WindStars have three different levels to work through. You can start with Level 1 and progress through the stages at your own pace.

A sustainable and effective option for your music department

Plastic instruments are a sustainable choice for the classroom.

Manufacturing carbon footprint - Extracting oil to make ABS resin consumes less energy than mining nickel, zinc and copper, which are used to make traditional flutes and clarinets.

Durability and lifespan – Whilst metal instruments often become bent out of shape or dented, ABS keys are tough and relatively elastic which means they can flex but will return accurately to original shape. Nuvo instruments can last a lifetime with affordable spares that are easy to replace yourself, greatly reducing maintenance costs.

Cleaning and hygiene – Plastic instruments are easy to keep clean by fully immersing in hot soapy water, from time to time. In contrast, traditional metal instruments require more careful maintenance. For example, a metal flute must be cleaned and thoroughly dried after each use to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to corrosion and tarnishing.
