Nuvo N230SFBK student flute 2.0 in black

If your new to the flute get this one, is so easy to produce a sound, mind you I have been working on getting a sound for two weeks before this with an Irish flute. So that may of helped, but this flute is great, its so easy to use. Also if you can play the tin whistle the notation is the same and transferring to this instrument is very easy. People said it is light weight and it is compared to my Irish flute but not so light as i thought. Mine is black and it sounds brilliant. Ok its not £4k flute but who cares i an not going to perform at the proms. So if this your first get this. Its so easy to play and pick up, the other flute is harder to play but then i am just starting out. Great flute - I will come back later to see how it holds up with time.

This flute is amazing. I am very impressed with it. It plays beautifully and in tune. I don't know yet how it’s going be after playing for a while but it seems strong and solid and well built. I was dubious about a plastic flute being any good but this one is great and worth the money. I was impressed that it could play as a baroque flute by leaving off the lower joint.

This item is good for learning on. Lightweight. Easy to play. Though needs more air than a metal one. Love the sound deeper like a wooden flute.

I bought my Nuvo last December, having wanted to learn the flute since secondary school. I thought this would be a good "first" flute, since I wasn't sure that I would keep it up. 6 months later and I am now having to upgrade to a 2nd hand Trevor James 10x as the Nuvo has become too frustrating to continue learning on. To give a bit of background, I'm an adult learner, having never touched a flute before and self taught. I'm currently working my way through the 2nd Trevor Wye beginner book, well into the 3rd octave, which is where I seem to be stuck. I know that most of my struggles are because of a serious lack of experience but trying to get any notes in the 3rd octave past E is just so tricky. This flute does not have split E mechanism, despite some literature saying that it does and although I can reach the 3rd E consistently now after lots of practice, after that the notes feel just out of reach. I've seen some very experienced players get much more range out of the Nuvo than I can so I know it's possible but I don't enjoy this flute any more because my progress has become so slow. I do like this flute because it's very sturdy and it can be left out between practice sessions and doesn't need to be handled with too much extra care. It's quirky and cool looking and I don't mind my 3 teens having a bash at it from time to time because I know it won't easily break. It's been useful to be able to pick it up several times a day and I'm not sure I'll practice in the same way with my new flute. However, I'm just not sure this flute is suited to the kind of student who will feel frustrated if it takes a long while to consistently play high notes. I find harmonics to be difficult to play as well, but again, that might just be my lack of experience. If I had known last December that I was definitely going to love the instrument then I might not have bothered with the Nuvo at all. In short, this flute has its good points but I think many people will want to upgrade within 6 months or less, just because of the limitations of this particular instrument.

Although I havebeen playing for many years I really like the nuvo . Waterproof feels good to hold and looks like the old wooden flutes of the 19 century. I will be playing it in the wind band I belong to, when we are allowed to meet final.

I sent mine back I couldn’t get the 3rd register or bottom C or D. It sounded more like a recorder than a flute. Better to save up and spend £400 and get a decent flute

He liked it and will practice on it often

Bought this for beginer daughter who wanted a black flute rather than a silver one. For a beginner it's fine, and has the advantage that's it's very light, which makes it easier to hold - for a child a metal flute with a normal mouthpiece is heavier than it looks.

Ich bin Wiedereinsteiger und wollte nicht direkt viel Geld ausgeben. Die Nuvo Student Flute ist dabei besser als erwartet. Sie ist perfekt zum Üben geeignet und die Töne klingen für eine Flöte aus Kunststoff wirklich sehr gut. Sie spielt sich angenehm und macht insgesamt einen soliden, hochwertigen Eindruck. Definitiv zu empfehlen für Anfänger, Wiedereinsteiger oder alle, die eine robuste Querflöte zum Üben suchen.

Easy to take apart and being able to wash it definitely helps especially when your young kid loves to use it while eating.

娘が購入しました(*^^*) 娘が言うには フルートが水洗い出来るなんて‼️ 凄く楽って 2万円程で新品ってのも魅力的 音質は やや軽いっとの事‼️ でも2万円程なら凄いって 本来フルートってメンテナンス費用もいるし 使用後の手入れも大変らしく💦 手軽にフルートを楽しめるって最高じゃんって言ってました👍

Nuvo Student Flute 2.0 black The item arrived in the date expected, complete and in good order. I am a long-term amateur musician, playing mainly flute and tenor and soprano saxophones. The flute is used as an always ready instrument for daily practice, saving my expensive Altus flute. The sound produced is good, with much lower projection than a metal flute, which is very convenient for home practice without causing too much trouble to neighbors. I think that is a good alternative for starting the flute playing, and if the interest remains, can always be used for holidays or other occasions where a metal flute could suffer damage. For my daily practice has been very important enabling to play in the available few spare minutes in the day, without worrying with maintenance. As always there is some time to adapt to the embouchure, variable with flute playing experience, but to me it is easy to go from low C to 3rd octave A. The flute is very light weighted, and the mechanism seems robust, and maintenance easy. In conclusion, an excellent acquisition to enable me to increase the frequency of my flute practice with a very affordable price and complete set of accessories. Recommendations: the G# key could be more robust and the case smaller. The flute embouchure can be a bit slippery, but a piece of matt adhesive tape can easily solve the problem.

Une flûte toujours prête à l'emploi, qui joue très bien sur trois octaves et permet même de toucher les 3 premières note de la 4eme octave avec beaucoup d'expérience. Cette flute à révolutionnée ma pratique quotidienne car elle est toujours disponible et sans grand besoin d'entretien. Prendre, jouer,déposer et partir faire autre chose. On peut sans crainte partir à la plage, à la piscine, en randonnée, en forêt etc....sans rien à craindre. Bravo Nuvo !!!!
