Description

The Nuvo Recorder+ is a soprano recorder with features that make it easier and more fun to play than a traditional recorder. The Recorder+ employs patented silicone key covers that make it easier to fully cover the holes, even for smaller fingers, resulting in fewer squeaks. In addition, the larger tone holes produce a more warm and mellow tone compared to traditional recorder design. Put these two features together, and the result is a key system that enables beginners to progress more quickly and gain confidence in their musical journey.
The colour co-ordinated rubber rings can be used as a reward system for students who progress through learning milestones, or simply used to accessorize the instrument. The Recorder+ can even be washed in hot soapy water.
As with all of the offerings from Nuvo, the Recorder+ design enhances learning while preserving the musicality of the instrument.
Baroque/German Systems
Tonally identical, the two systems of fingerings for recorders have a few notable differences. Playing a simple melody with a narrow range in a pitch range such as C major or F major presents no particular issue with a German style recorder, but performing a piece with a wider range or accidentals (sharps and flats) is more difficult. The Baroque recorder offers easier fingerings for accidentals and improved intonation, however the basic scale requires more difficult « forked » fingerings.
