Your cart is empty.The Nuvo clarineo is a fully functioning clarinet in the key of C and is ideal for young starters ages 4 to 9 years. It is much lighter and smaller than a Bb Clarinet which means the finger stretches are shorter and tone holes are easier to cover. The Clarinet removes a lot of the physical challenges of the BB Clarinet which encourages kids to practice more, develop the skils and enthusiasm they will need when they are ready to step up. Since the fingering is the same, The transition to the BB Clarinet is quick and easy. Just like a traditional clarinet, the Clarinet is fully chromatic over 3 1/2 octaves.

My rating is for what this product actually is per the manufacturer, a plastic clarinet for a Child, not a "real"/substitute clarinet.I am a musician (other instruments) currently disabled with *extremely* weak chest muscles. I am utilizing this as my rehab and can safely play while in bed and set it aside anywhere without worry of damaging it. It is light, easy to use, and sound quality is surprisely decent for what it is. Everything you need is included.A few cons:-Ended up purchasing a silk swab; the included swab is too thick. My first swab broke and became lodged inside; took several extremely tedious hours to remove it. The manufacturer sent me a replacement swab but it is the same cloth which takes careful maneuvering to pull through (no child would be doing this).-Some rough edges. Nature of plastic manufacturing of small parts but I can image a child getting cut. Should not be a problem during normal playing of instrument.-No issues with the reeds itself but finding additional ones may be a challenge as they are not normal reeds.The manufacturer has a free downloadable book, Play It Today, which is great to get started for an older child or adult and covers quite a bit; for a very young child, it may be too advanced. I also have Windstars 2 (not normally free). It's quite basic and likely good for a young child, the intended audience; an adult can skip it.I have recommended this company to my friends with young children.

The G# key didn’t last one day. This is my 4th and last clarineo. From now on I’ll stick to my John Packer C Clarinet.UPDATE: the key came unstuck and now plays very well. I now play it in preference to the Packer and also in preference to a Yamaha Bb. The reeds, even the 1, are hard to play. I use Royal Eb cane reeds strength 1 in the stock mouth piece instead. Sounds great. Changed the rating to 5 stars.

I bought it with a little fear but the truth is it's pretty good. It's not out of tune like I thought it might be, it has good weight and size. I'm 23 years old and I've never played the clarinet before and it's excellent for practicing.

Maybe I got a defective one or a returned item, but I could not get a good sound or even a note out of this clarinet. I play the clarinet in band, and have my own regular instrument. This feels like a toy and takes a lot of breath pressure to make a sound, and even then it came out sounding wrong. I could hardly do a scale, I watched videos on YouTube, but maybe they got a different model because the one I got was unplayable. Disappointed because I wanted an instrument I could just leave around and play whenever. But no… 3 yrs exp in band.

Jury is still out on this. I am a life long clarinet player and picked this up to play with a group I am in that is made of of other instruments in C. I thought it would be a great addition to complement my other C melody instruments with out the annoyance of having to transpose on the fly with my B flat clarinet Sitting down with a tuner proved being in tune could be problem. It seemed to vary by reed, cane versus the plastic reeds. Some relief was attained by adjusting the bell and mouthpiece. I need to spend more time with it to find the right type of reed is my working theory.Adapting to the fingers on this instruments was smooth reminded my of my Albert system clarinets. Wish the middle A key was a bit larger for my adult hands but I had no problem with right hand lower keys hit them every time. I could see a young player learning this and then moving on to a standard B flat student clarinet. But some more thought has to go into being able to tune it. maybe adding a middle joint to allow for more tune ability like in a standard clarinet my help in the middle ranges.

Nice but more complex for a beginning musician. This is closer to a clarinet in fingering and has the extra extensions for the keys. Nice tone but takes a bit more knowledge than most people have to master it. I also find it harder to blow especially at the upper registers. I don't mean harder to make a sound, literally harder to blow through the instrument.

Use your regular reeds for better control. Fingering is simplified for both your hand pinky fingers, thus plan ahead if reading from a clarinet standard score. The sound is mellow though not as deep as standard wood. Crisp and nice, light enough you grab it more often without a thought.

Working instrument that is relatively childproof. I bought 2 from CacheSaver so my grandson and I could play together. I recommend both Nuvo instruments and CacheSaver as a vendor. it is nice that the bell is silicon so that it can't get crushed. This is not a great clarinet, but it is a really good kid clarinet that you can let a young child hold and learn to play.dean

Bought as a present. Recipient delighted. Clarineo now sits on a multi-stand with flute and tin whistle in the work-from-home study, ready to be picked up at a moment’s notice.Build quality is excellent. The finish is great—no spruey bits or pinholes. The included plastic reed sounds and plays well. Natural reed (1 provided) sounds even better. Jazz sounds jazzy, Mozart sounds like Mozart. People see the white plastic construction and expect to be disappointed. They’re blown away!Authentic clarinet tone and fingering system. The only difference from a normal clarinet is that it’s pitched in C, rather than B-flat. If you read from a standard clarinet tutor or sheet music, you’ll sound two semitones higher, than expected by the rest of the band. But if you play tunes notated for piano, flute, violin, guitar or voice, you’ll be right there with them. Solo, it doesn’t matter. Learning at home during lockdown, this posed no problem. ‘A tune a day for clarinet’ works just as well in C as in B-flat.As a beginner, this felt easy to get started with. Keys and levers are comfortably spaced, operate smoothly, and don’t leak. One of them (E-flat) returns a little slowly but is wearing in. As with any musical instrument, don’t be over-ambitious, practise regularly, build basic skills, and expand your range bit by bit. Mouth shape (embouchure) and breath control (from the diaphragm, not the throat!) are fundamental.
