Nuvo Toot Plastic Flute for Beginners, White/Green

I was pleasantly surprised by this little fife. For those who are not used to a transverse aperture, it has a whistle-like mouthpiece AND a regular flute-like mouthpiece. It comes with the whistle mouthpiece attached — and it sounds pretty good. (I’ll probably leave it on for a while.) Full chromatic scale, all the sharps and/or flats. Good price, too. If you’re looking for a fife, I recommend this little guy. Lots of fun.

Most of the things I read about the Nuvo Toot talked about it being aimed at children - but I am an adult clarinet player who was interested in learning flute. I got this for learning the embouchure before moving up to a real metal flute. I feel like it did its job and gave me a good head start. I think it's great to try this at any age if you want to test the waters of playing flute before spending a lot on a nice one. Also it's just fun to mess around with, and I love that it's silicone and plastic so I can throw it in a bag or leave it in the car and not worry about damage.

I am a flute teacher and this is a fantastic teaching tool for very young students. It’s fits their hands well and helps teach how to make a sound on the flute before transitioning to a bigger instrument. It has a decent tone as well. Only drawback is the lack of pitches. It’s only possible to play a few notes on it.

I purchased this for my son for Christmas. His school started the Nuvo music program for all students and the step up process as they go up through the grades is a wonderful design in teaching music. It replaces cheap recorders and other instuments by “stepping up” from recorder, to flute, to clarinet with interchangeable pieces. Yes they’re plastic, but they’re well made, easy to clean, and withstand hours of playing. The school had a limited number of toots, so I bought my son one in black so that it would not be mistaken for one of the school’s white ones. The box is great, it has a nice carrying case & it includes a click-on mouthpiece to switch between reed style and flute style. He love his!

I got this for my daughter to use in her school’s pre-band program, and it’s been a solid little starter instrument. It’s held up well so far — nothing has broken, which is impressive considering it gets tossed in and out of her backpack. It sounds a lot like a recorder (so it can definitely be a bit annoying), but for a pre-band kid it makes sense. It’s inexpensive, simple to use, and a useful tool for getting the basics down before moving on to a real band instrument.

This thing is great. It doesn't quite sound like a flute, but it is a great intro instrument. It comes with a trainer mouthpiece installed that works more like a whistle, but gets the learner used to the position. It also comes with the normal flute style mouthpiece that you can swap out. The keys are flaps, which work well for beginners as well, making it approachable to start learning to play, rather than just how to hold and press things. It is fairly durable, but also comes in a pouch that protects it reasonably well. In short, this is an incredible value for a kid that wants to start learning.

Our son loves it-much easier to ensure all the appropriate holes are covered. Great for small hands.

This thing is an absolutely fantastic little flute! It is reasonably weather resistant too, due to the plastic, so taking it camping is no big deal. It sounds great, looks neat, and is easy to play. The little case is handy for keeping it dust free between uses. It was a great price as well. I'd give it a couple of extra stars if I could!

Génial

excelente producto

It could get a beginner familiar with blowing a flute, but this instrument is quite out of tune

Flauto traverso per bambini davvero divertente e ben fatto. Sembra quasi di suonare uno strumento vero, quindi riesce a coinvolgere molto i più piccoli. La qualità è ottima: dopo mesi di utilizzo a scuola da parte dei bambini non presenta alcun problema. I colori vivaci lo rendono ancora più piacevole e il doppio becco è molto utile perché permette di lavorare facilmente anche con i bambini più piccoli. Consigliatissimo per attività musicali e didattiche.

Excelente flauta, com chaves de silicone bem gostosas” de tocar, muito confortável. Vem com bocal de iniciação, na qual com sopro mais leve você consegue tocar, semelhante a flauta doce. Ótimo para aprendizado ou para pessoas que tem pressão do olho alta (como o meu caso, em que instrumentos de sopro podem prejudicar a visão). O outro bocal é igual ao de uma flauta transversal e facilita a passagem para a tradicional. Recomendo muito. Embora o manual indique 1 oitava e meia, consegue-se chegar em 2 oitavas no sopro/embocadura. Ponto negativo: A troca entre bocais é um pouco difícil, devendo usar a chave entre o corpo da flauta e o bocal, em movimento de alavanca. Corre o risco de danificar a chave se usar muita força, pois parece frágil.
