Nuvo Toot - Flute Style
Catalogue No: iwNUV-420T
Equipped with a simple, durable key system that helps little fingers close the tone holes, the Toot is in the key of C and uses recorder fingerings so your child can use their existing recorder knowledge (and music) to play a brand new instrument!
Others instruments in their range include the Dood and jSax.
What we say
Sometimes learning an instrument like the flute can be a little overwhelming, especially if it's your first one. You have to learn fingerings, basic music theory and mouthshape all in one go, and if you're little, too, you have to really stretch those little fingers.
But the TooT simplifies a lot of this, because a) it allows you to play on a smaller instrument, and b) it comes with a recorder-style starter mouthpiece so you don't need to think about embouchure (the position your mouth needs to be in to make a strong, solid tone) and can focus instead on just getting the right notes. Remember how easy it was to get a note out of a recorder? That's what it's like to play a TooT - instant sound! And then when you get really confident with your notes and where to put your fingers, you can switch your focus to creating the right mouth shape and practice on the flute head attachment.
Once you've mastered that, the transition to a full size flute is so much easier. This really is a great bridging tool that's unlike anything else on the market.
Other plus points include being totally washable, droppable, and unloseable (thanks to some bright and cheerful colour combinations). And with four double holes you can also play chromatic notes of the scale, to play most of your favourite melodies.
