The Yamaha Venova is a totally new type of wind instrument that blends the simplicity of a recorder with the sound of a saxophone. The original YVS-100 Venova uses a regular soprano saxophone mouthpiece and reed, but with simple open-hole fingerings similar to what you’d find on a student recorder. Durable and lightweight, the Venova is easy to take with you to the beach, the park, on vacation, or wherever you want to make music.
