Introducing the NUVOBand full-chromatic student Bb clarinet – New for 2024!
Discover the innovative NUVOBand series: lightweight marvels of engineering designed by Nuvo for aspiring musicians. Whether for school wind bands and orchestras or for those taking their first steps to playing, NUVOBand promises productive and joyful playing.
The NUVO Band clarinet redefines the practice experience – its fast-action ligature and responsive keywork offer a seamless playing experience over a full 3 and a half octave (plus!) range . The addition of the “Keep it Out” hanger and accompanying “Let’s Play” Quick Start Guide make it perfect for beginners.
With a 5-year parts warranty, compatibility with traditional cane reeds, and a commitment to environmental sustainability, the NUVOBand Bb clarinet is a harmonious blend of quality, versatility, and longevity.
What does our woodwind expert think?
Playing the NUVOBand clarinet feels solid and responsive with pads that seal perfectly. The tone and response are reliable throughout all registers which makes for a remarkably enjoyable play, and the strong rubber bell achieves impressive resonance. A standard-sized barrel accommodates other branded French mouthpieces too, offering good versatility.
Durable, lightweight construction
At just 405g, it is considerably lighter than the equivalent student clarinets from brands such as Buffet, Jupiter and Yamaha - the Buffet Prodige comes in at 712g and the Jupiter JCL700 weights 742g! Constructed from a lightweight, durable engineering polymer blended for a high strength-to-weight ratio, the reduced weight of the clarinet ensures good posture for extended practice sessions among even the youngest, smallest players. Suitable for ages 5+, this clarinet is geared towards beginner players and can easily support learners all the way up to grade 5, so the lightness is brilliant for encouraging excellent playing habits.
Built to last
The self-levelling silicone pads are designed for longevity and should never require adjustment, allowing you to continue enjoying your instrument for years to come. Crafted with attention to detail, the NUVOBand clarinet boasts durable keywork, long-lasting polymer springs, high-grade stainless steel rods, and a silicone bell.
Integrated adjustable thumb rest and fast-action ligature
An integrated adjustable thumb rest caters to various hand sizes, again helping learners play for longer without their fingers getting too tired. Better still, the additional padding aids comfort without the need to purchase separate thumb cushions. The Bb-sized mouthpiece features a fast-action ligature, operable with one hand, which is compatible with NUVO Band reeds or traditional cane reeds.
Supporting regular practice
Research supports the effectiveness of frequent, short practice sessions, so each instrument includes a “Keep It Out” hanger, encouraging regular musical activity. Install it on a door, wall, or locker for easy access. If you need a hand to get started, the digital “Let’s Play” Quick Start Guide is there to assist beginners.
Pass it On and reducing environmental impact
Nuvo is committed to minimizing environmental impact with the NUVOBand series. While energy is consumed in production and shipping, each instrument is built for longevity and designed to be enjoyed by many musicians for years to come. If you are ready to pass on your NUVOBand clarinet, Nuvo has a “Pass it On” program through which we donate instruments to registered charities. Contact us to find out more.
Cleaning your clarinet
Designed to withstand any environment, NUVOBand instruments are 100% waterproof due to the polymer construction and silicone pads. Clean them effortlessly with hot soapy water, or for a quick clean between uses, spray with an appropriate woodwind disinfectant and wipe with a dry cloth. Perfect for shared or loaned instruments in school or band settings.
