COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT

The Venova is easy to transport because it is roughly 1/8 the weight of a conventional saxophone. At just 460 mm for the YVS-100, the Venova is more compact than conventional saxophones.

A RICH, EXPRESSIVE TONE

Like the saxophone, the Venova is a single-reed instrument that sounds different depending on how hard or soft you blow. The fully chromatic two-octave range lets you enjoy playing a wide variety of tunes.

UNIQUE BRANCHED PIPE DESIGN

The Venova sounds the way it does because of the unique "branched pipe" tube that's added to the body. This extra piece changes the tone from a cylindrical instrument (like a recorder) into the sound of a more conical instrument like a saxophone.

MEANDERING PIPE

The body of the Venova is bent into a "meandering pipe" structure. This shortens the distance between the tone holes and makes it possible to play all the notes with very few keys. The result is a simpler fingering system that's similar to a recorder and easier to learn even for people who've never played a wind instrument before.
