Introducing the Nuvo Dood 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 Dood is a brand new concept for single reed music education. A natural next step for a child playing the recorder, the Dood is a great way to introduce single-reed skills at an early age. With it’s mellow clarinet-like sound, the Dood makes a great addition to any recorder ensemble.

Everything on the Dood is designed to give the beginner an easier playing experience, benefitting both player and teachers alike. From the easy action ligature, to the durable silicone keys it the ideal instrument for inspiring young players in the classroom and at home.

Easy action ligature

Now comes fitted with new integral ligature, easy to open with one hand. It remains compatible with Nuvo’s plastic reeds in 1, 1.5 and 2 strength or cane Eb size clarinet reeds and now also soprano saxophone reeds.

Silicone key flaps

Silicone key covers help smaller hands to accurately and completely cover the tone holes - less squeaks, more music! The instrument follows recorder-like fingering patterns whilst allowing beginners to learn single reed mouthpiece techniques.

Easy to clean

Nuvo instruments are easy to clean and sanitise. For a quick clean, simply spray with an appropriate woodwind disinfectant, leave for a 20 seconds or more then wipe with a dry cloth. When your instrument needs a deeper clean you can bathe it in warm soapy water and leave to dry on a towel. This will remove a build up of dirt or grime in any part of the instrument and get rid of any unwanted bacteria without the need to take it apart or for expensive cleaning equipment.

Built to last

Made from durable plastic and silicone, Nuvo instruments are built to last. Nuvo actively encourages players to pass on their instrument to another beginner once they have moved on to their next instrument, so if looked after well, your instrument could last you through many new players! Maintenance is also simple, with readily available spare parts and simple instructions for fitting and repair.

Fun for all ages

The Nuvo Toot isn't limited to just the classroom. Although it is the perfect instrument as a stepping platform for an aspiring single reed player, or for a classroom of young musicians, it can be enjoyed by anyone. Whether you once played the clarinet and would like to rekindle your passion without breaking the bank or just want to start something new, the Dood is ready to inspire.

Case & accessories

The slimline slipcase keeps everything you need to play the Dood in one place. The zip secured case has a spare reed pouch and just the right space for your instrument and fingering chart while you need it!

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.

Available in handy classroom packs

You can also get the Dood as part of Nuvo's classroom packs, including the Windstars 1 mixed class set and the Dood class set, which can help to kickstart your classes' musical development! These packs include a selection of instruments as well as teaching books, making them extremely convenient for primary teachers.
