The NUVOBand B-flat clarinet weighs about half as much as a traditional model and produces a sweet, satisfying sound. The patented body and key design are made from a strong technical polymer, specifically blended for a high strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining good acoustic properties. The padded case holds the instrument broken down into just two parts, allowing for quick and easy assembly and storage.
The included NUVOBand mouthpiece is standard size with an integrated quick-release ligature for fast reed positioning. You can use Nuvo synthetic reeds or any other standard B-flat clarinet model. The body is designed to accommodate any standard-size B-flat clarinet mouthpiece.
The set also includes the KIO (Keep it Out) wall mount, which allows you to hang your clarinet on the wall for easy access whenever you feel like practicing.
The NUVOBand clarinet is 100% waterproof, making it easy to maintain. It is the perfect practice instrument, suitable for beginner band programs and all ages up to the intermediate level.
Description
Silicone mouthpiece cap soft to the touch. It will produce almost no noise if you accidentally drop it during a performance!
Quick-release ligature: changing reeds is a breeze with this integrated, field-tested ligature. Compatible with all standard brands of B-flat clarinet reeds. Two synthetic reeds and one cane reed are provided with your instrument. The mouthpiece has been faced with a wide A-type grain to provide a less resistant feel as well as a responsive, loud tone. You can also use your favorite mouthpiece from another brand.
Lightweight and durable body: the patented reinforced polymer body is lightweight and durable, for years of reliable performance. The clarinet is half the weight of a traditional model, allowing you to practice more often and for longer periods with excellent posture.
"Keep it Out" wall mount: your clarinet comes with a K.I.O. mount so you can keep it within reach and practice as soon as the urge strikes.
Cleaning: your clarinet is 100% waterproof, so you can wash it with warm soapy water. You can even play in the rain or even in the shower! A microfiber pull-through swab is included.
Long-lasting springs: the clarinet is equipped with precision-made polymer springs, providing the consistency and reliability you need for practice and performance.
Durable keys made from non-deformable reinforced polymer resin and carefully designed to give you years of trouble-free performance.
Unique self-leveling, waterproof pads allow for a perfect seal on tone holes. It is unlikely you will need to adjust them, but if you do, they are easily replaceable.
