The Nuvo Toot is a small, recorder size flute designed as an introduction to the full size flute. For a child ready to progress from the recorder, this is the perfect next step to ultimately playing the flute.

  • Next step from recorder before playing the flute
  • Firstnote Lip Plate helps student direct air over lip plate
  • Standard lip plate to learn real flute embouchure later in year
  • Covered Silicone keys to help small fingers close the keys
  • Sounds like a flute
  • Uses flute fingerings
  • Lightweight and easy introduction to holding the flute sideways
