    Limited but fun

    The most important thing to understand about the Venova is that it is not meant to be a "serious" instrument. It's "casual" not only in the sense of being durable and portable, but also musically. It's described as having "recorder fingering", which it does, sort of. But some of the notes not on the C major scale are impossible to produce using recorder fingerings alone. Specifically, Bb, Ab, and Gb are about 80% embouchure and 20% fingering. That is, the recorder fingerings won't produce these notes. At best, they'll give you somewhat less than a quarter tone lower than the unflatted note. To produce the actual pitch you want you need to bend the rest of the way using embouchure. This is doable but challenging. On the whole, the pitch on the Venova is very unstable, requiring a lot of ...

    Looks good, plays terribly.

    The plastic reed is too stiff and neither my alto sax or b flat clarinet reeds fit well enough to use it. This is certainly not for beginners. The sound I am able to produce sounds like when I was 12 and learning to play ( I'm 65 now). The hype on the reviews I believe are misleading. I could not produce anything close to the you tube review from Yamaha. A big disappointment, was hoping this would travel. It will probably sit in my closet. Not worth the money.

    LIGHT AND PORTABLE. NOT EASY TO PLAY BUT IS EASY TO LEARN

    This is a little deceiving instrument, first of all it is very well constructed with high quality materials. Then comes the hard part it is not easy to play even when they say its fingerings are like a recorder’s it is an entirely different instrument however after practicing hard it starts to give you better and better sounds. Advice buy some fine reeds for soprano saxophone (2.5) and it will improve notably the quality of sound and make it easier on the player. It is highly portable, water resistant, sounds beautifully and is NOT EASY to play but with some practice is NOT HARD TO LEARN.

    A lot of instrument for less than $100

    My 15 YO son loves playing it, he's already playing theme from Star Wars on it after a few days of experimenting on & off, however, we made the mistake of buying an Alto Sax reed for it which did not fit (too big), apparently you need a Soprano Sax reed, we bought a package of about ten reeds at a local music store for $25.. The Yamaha unit comes with a synthetic reed included, which is not very good.

    Absurdly Out of Tune

    I *really* want to love the the Yamaha Venova... but I just can't. Sure, it's easy to play, very portable, immensely sturdy, etc. However, it's also shockingly out of tune with itself. Virtually every note requires serious "lipping" to bend into tune. If they manage to fix that in the next revision I'll happily give it a shot but, as is, it's downright painful to listen to.
