Winds & Violins

Choosing a suitable wind instrument or accessory

The Vents & Violons collection brings together wind instruments and accessories for wind and string instruments. To get started, identify your need: discovering an instrument, choosing a reed or ligature, or finding a case or stand. The choice primarily depends on the instrument you play and its reference, rather than on the brand alone.

For a first introduction, several Nuvo references are presented as beginner instruments: saxophone, DooD clarinet, saxhorn, and transverse flute. First choose the instrument family you want to explore, then check the product page for the stated age recommendations, ease of handling, and included contents, where specified. The Musical Discovery collection can also help you continue your search.

For wind instrument accessories, check the instrument concerned and the exact reference: the Legere reeds offered for oboe and cor anglais serve different needs, and a Rovner ligature reference alone is not enough to confirm compatibility with your mouthpiece. For storage, Hercules and K&M stands are named for different instruments, from violin to double bass, as well as saxophone and bassoon. Consult their product pages to confirm compatibility with your model. Also compare their footprint and whether they fold when this information is provided; for a case, such as the Ritter case for B♭ cornet, check the usable dimensions before ordering.
