NUVO Baritone Horn, Black (N610JHBBK) : Musical Instruments

Description

The Nuvo jHorn is an affordable, lightweight and robust learning tool which opens up the world of brass instruments to a wider audience than ever before! Now musicians of all ages can take their first steps in brass playing with an instrument which follows traditional fingerings without breaking the bank. Whether as part of a school teaching program, or a later in life decision to try something new, jHorn is a great starting point. The multi-cup mouthpiece is supplied with a selection of 3 silicone cups which represent different mouthpiece profiles by altering the diameter, rim width and depth. This will allow jHorn players to form an idea of which areas of the brass family they would like to explore next, having mastered the basics with Nuvo! Supplied in Bb, the jHorn also comes with a set of C tubes which bring the instrument up to concert pitch. With the Bb tubes fitted, the jHorn occupies the same register as baritone horn, euphonium or tenor trombone. Swap these out for the included C tubes however, and the jHorn joins the ranks of jSax, jFlute and Clarineo to form the basis of the 2nd phase of the Nuvo WindStars classroom curriculum Learn important brass skills as early as age 4 Standard brass fingering Plays in the same register as tenor trombone, euphonium and baritone horn Multi-cup mouthpiece to explore low, middle and high brass technique Patented rotary face-valve technology ensures little to no maintenance In the key of Bb with C-tubes included for easy conversion to concert pitch Plays 3 octaves Learning to play a musical instrument can be profoundly life changing. Besides the joy of making music, it gives increased confidence and a heightened sense of purpose. Numerous studies have revealed that students who participate in music programs at an early age perform better in other subjects and thrive socially. It is equally joyful and rewarding to take up a musical instrument later in life. Our most senior Nuvo student is 86 years young! However, learning to play a musical instrument isn’t easy! It requires concentration, frequent practice, an enthusiastic teacher, a suitable instrument and some degree of passion. Many traditionally designed instruments present hurdles that add to the challenges and inhibit the learning process unnecessarily. Nuvo produce instruments that minimise those hurdles and make learning easier, faster and more accessible. The jHorn provides the opportunit to learn important "brass" skills from as young as 4 years old. With a full, resonant tone and standard brass fingerings, it is also a lot of fun to play for the brass enthusiast who wants a lightweight, low cost, durable instrument to play on the go. The jHorn can be pitched in the key of C or B flat (slides included for both keys).
