Introducing the Nuvo jHorn

Nuvo started out by revolutionising the beginner woodwind market, creating a fleet of instruments perfect for beginners in every way. Using the same principles and lightweight materials, Nuvo have created the perfect access point for brass musicians - the jHorn. Made from a combination of durable plastic and silicone, each instrument is ultra-lightweight and couldn't be easier to clean - simply rinse or bathe with soapy water, dry thoroughly and they're good to go!

The jHorn provides the opportunity 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.

The jHorn is tuned in Bb and plays the same register as the tenor trombone, euphonium and baritone horn. It comes with our unique multi-cup mouthpiece to enable experimentation with low, middle or high brass embouchures. You may also try standard trumpet, tenor horn and narrow bore trombone mouthpieces.

Suits a variety of embrachures

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!

Compatible with classroom music making and brass banding

Be compatible with classroom music making and brass banding 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.

Easy to clean

Nuvo instruments are easy to clean and sanitise. For a quick clean, simply spray with an appropriate woodwind disinfectant, leave for a 20 seconds or more then wipe with a dry cloth. When your instrument needs a deeper clean you can bathe it in warm soapy water and leave to dry on a towel. This will remove a build up of dirt or grime in any part of the instrument and get rid of any unwanted bacteria without the need to take it apart or for expensive cleaning equipment.

Built to last

Made from durable plastic and silicone, Nuvo instruments are built to last. Nuvo actively encourages players to pass on their instrument to another beginner once they have moved on to their next instrument, so if looked after well, your instrument could last you through many new players! Maintenance is also simple, with readily available spare parts and simple instructions for fitting and repair.

Fun for all ages

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.
